The colorful exploits of baseball legend George Herman (Babe) Ruth come brilliantly to life in this dramatic new film about the first true superstar of professional sports. John Goodman gives an outstanding performance as THE BABE, the delinquent manchild whose successes in baseball were exceeded only by his insatiable appetite for wine, women and hot dogs.
