Summary of The Big Fella

The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World He Created by Jane Leavy: Conversation Starters

The "Symphony of Swat" was a show bigger than other circuses that ever toured the country. Award-winning sports writer Jane Leavy recounts the tour that brought baseball legend Babe Ruth closer to his fans around America. In September 1927, Babe Ruth hit his record-breaking 60th home run and started his three-week barnstorming travels across America. Touring with famed teammate Lou Gehrig, the event is told by Leavy, painting Ruth with what critics say as the pathos that appropriately described Ruth's life.

The Big Fella is a New York Times bestseller and is chosen as Best Book of 2018 by Publishers Weekly.
