As a boy, I was a fanatical Yankees fan and had read everything I could about the Babe. When "The Babe Ruth Story" appeared in the the TV listings, I couldn't wait to see it! I guess I was expecting another "Pride Of The Yankees". Imagine my disappointment as I sat in my living room, incredulous, as one ridiculous scene followed another. I was so bummed! I couldn't understand why the greatest baseball player was the subject of one of the worst movies I'd ever seen. Years later, I think I finally understand why this movie was so dreadful. It's the only possible explanation. It was made by Red Sox fans to revenge the trading of Babe Ruth to the Yankees.!! (I'm giving it one star because William Bendix, who was in his forties at the time, plays Babe Ruth as a teenager! That's the funniest casting ever!!)
