Description
Jim welcomes SABR member Bob LeMoine to discuss his new book, “When the Babe Went Back to Boston: Babe Ruth, Judge Fuchs, and the Hapless Braves of 1935." Bob and Jim cover Babe Ruth's mostly forgotten 1935 season with the Boston Braves, why Ruth continues to be discussed at length despite retiring almost 90 years ago, the significance of his three home run game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and whether or not his lackluster season with the Braves cost him Hall of Fame votes.
