Today's least accurate book title: The Year Babe Ruth
Hit 104 Home Runs by Bill Jenkinson. Babe Ruth, it must be said,
never hit 104 home runs in a single year. Jenkinson's theory, based on
a detailed analysis of Ruth's statistics over the course of his career,
is that Ruth would be able to hit that many homers in a single season if
he were alive and playing today. OK then.
I for one am looking
forward to Jenkinson's next book, in which he will conclusively show
that if Babe Ruth had had wheels, he would have been a bicycle. I also
hear that he's working on an article for Sports Illustrated
that will at long last answer the age-old question, "if Babe Ruth had a
brother, would he like cheese?"
