THE HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT . Oil on canvas. 36 " x 48"

Babe Ruth was a man of mythic proportions. He became even more than the ultimate American sports celebrity. He was "a unique figure in the social history of the United States," wrote Robert Creamer in Babe: The Legend Comes to Life. " Far more than any other man, Babe Ruth transcended sports, moved far beyond the artificial limits of baselines and outfield fences and sports pages." Even his nicknames, such as "The Sultan of Swat" and "The Bambino," seem majestic. This is the man who truly made baseball the national pastime, the kid who started out looking like a Hall of Fame left-handed pitcher with the Boston Red Sox who became a Hall of Fame left-handed hitting outfielder with the New York Yankees.
