Babe & Me: A Baseball Card Adventure

Dan Gutman (2000), 176 pages
Audience: 6th Grade - 8th Grade
Joe is fascinated with the legend of how Babe Ruth called his shot before hitting a home run in game three of the 1932 World Series. Could a player be confident enough to be able to predict not only his home run, but also where it would fly? No one knows what really happened that day. Joe wants to find out, but unlike millions of other baseball fans, who have to live with the uncertainty, Joe has the power to travel back through time to see the game. Can Joe solve the mystery, return home safely, and possibly improve his own game in the meantime? Reproductions of photographs from Babe Ruth's life add depth to the descriptions of events, and the book concludes with a note separating the historical fact from fiction.
