6" x 9", 420 page trade paperback titled BABE RUTH AND THE 1918 RED SOX by Allan Wood/ Writer's Club Press, ISBN # 0-595-14826-3, Unstated printing, copyright 2000/ The 1918 season was momentous for the Red Sox. It was played under wartime restrictions and the Bambino began to change from ace pitcher to slugging outfielder. Wood, a Red Sox fan and sportswriter, backtracks to George Herman Ruth's youth as a rebellious urchin who was reoriented to his Hall of Fame career under a mentor at a Baltimore orphanage. Wood proceeds to provide an admiring story of the Red Sox triumph, despite depleted rosters and threats of a government shutdown and players' strike.
