In the spirit of the contest, I have a nice quote from The Bambino himself:

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
— Babe Ruth

As if we needed further inspiration, here is video of Babe Ruth’s 60th Home Run (1927). The thing that strikes me about this video is his swing. It’s so easy and smooth. A real contrast to the muscle swings we see today. Enjoy this video and don’t forget to enter the contest!

It’s The Bambino Secret by J. Anderson Cross. From the book jacket:

The Great Bambino was a black man.

He carried a shocking secret that threatened to destroy his name, career, and sport. Surrounded by excitement and affluence of the roaring 20s, one of our greatest American heros was engulfed in scandal. He was an embarassment to his profession, yet a bigger-than-life superhero to fans, young and old – nationwide.
