About this product

Product Information

In an unprecedented look at Babe Ruth's amazing batting power, sure to inspire debate among baseball fans of every stripe, one of the country's most respected and trusted baseball historians reveals the amazing conclusions of more than twenty years of research. Jenkinson takes readers through Ruth's 1921 season, in which his pattern of battled balls would have accounted for more than 100 home runs in today's ballparks and under today's rules. Yet, 1921 is just tip of the iceberg, for Jenkinson's research reveals that during an era of mammoth field dimensions Ruth hit more 450-plus-feet shots than anybody in history, and the conclusions one can draw are mind boggling.

"The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 HR's" -Bill Jenkinson book
This book is a must-read for anyone trying to gain perspective of the game and the players in the wake of the steroid abuse that has resulted in so many records being erased by guys who cheated. The only "substance" Babe needed was steak and eggs for breakfast, hot dogs and beer for lunch, another steak for supper, and the adoration of millions of kids. The point of this book is that Babe's greatness was not in numbers, but in his ability to hit the ball farther than anybody else ever had, and nobody has since. It also points out the mistake people make in discounting Negro Leagues competition; during his barnstorming and exhibition career, Babe racked up home runs that don't show up in the record books, but they were against pitchers every bit as capable, and trying just as hard to strike ... This book is a must-read for anyone trying to gain perspective of the game and the players in the wake of the steroid abuse that has resulted in so many records being erased by guys who cheated. The only "substance" Babe needed was steak and eggs for breakfast, hot dogs and beer for lunch, another steak for supper, and the adoration of millions of kids. The point of this book is that Babe's greatness was not in numbers, but in his ability to hit the ball farther than anybody else ever had, and nobody has since. It also points out the mistake people make in discounting Negro Leagues competition; during his barnstorming and exhibition career, Babe racked up home runs that don't show up in the record books, but they were against pitchers every bit as capable, and trying just as hard to strike him out, as the major league hurlers were. The book also illustrates how modern hitters have benefitted from smaller ball parks: the primary point of the book is that Babe LOST home runs hit over 450 feet to the vast areas of those old ballparks, fly outs and foul balls that would be home runs in today's ballparks. Never mind what the record book shows where Babe Ruth ranks. No amount of finagling with park dimensions or cheating with drugs can erase a simple fact: Babe Ruth is and always will be #1, and everybody else can only hope to tie for a distant second place. A book that is masterfully researched and written. My only quibble with the author's technique is that today's ballparks are "averaged out" when compared with the old parks, instead of being treated individually. For example, Wrigley Field's long foul lines robbed Ernie Banks of dozens of home runs over his career: the year he hit 47, he probably lost 15 fly outs in the deep left field corner - in any other park, he would have BROKEN Babe's mark of 60 BEFORE Roger Maris came along. On the other hand, Babe would have routinely parked home runs on the rooftops across the street if he'd been a Cub, so maybe he would have hit 70 honest home runs before McGwire and Bonds cheated their way to the record. Beyond the home runs, this book illustrates Babe's all-around greatness in all aspects of the game, a tribute to the Babe and an inspiration to anyone who reads it. Well worth every penny you might spend on it, even used it's worth full price.

The Year Bill Jenkinson Hit A Whopper
It is immediately obvious once the reader opens the book that Mr. Jenkinson put in an incredible, even Ruthian amount of effort in researching for this book. I am in awe at just how very exact and careful he was in the detail of said research. Overall, the book is wonderfully written and one can tell that the author was passionate about the subject matter -- George Herman Ruth and the game of Baseball. I cannot recommend this informative tome enough, particularly if one wants to develop a greater understanding of the history of the game, and more specifically, the greatest ballplayer of them all, Babe Ruth. It is chock-full of stats and stories that will keep fans of the game, both casual and serious alike, entertained for many hours. Cheers, Mr. Jenkinson! I find it difficult to ...

The Babe will live forever!
Great insight into the career of the Babe. You’ll come away wondering how such a man existed. He was not just the most incredible ball player ever, but a friend to everyone he met. If it was in his power, the color barrier in baseball would have been broken 25 years earlier.
