"Becoming Babe Ruth"

Sammy is all about the Boston Red Sox now since that is the name of his t-ball team.  I don't know if he'd ever heard of them before May but he jumped at the chance to stay up a little late and watch the pros on tv.
I looked around for some baseball books for him and found this one, Becoming Babe Ruth.  We've read it several times- Sam loves it.  I didn't know much about Babe Ruth.  Seems that he was into everything as a child, including trouble, so his parents sent him to a school for boys where his talent for baseball showed itself.  Found out he played for the Red Sox before being bought by the Yankees- Sammy rolled his eyes and made some sort of strange sound when he heard that.  Haha.  Anyway, it's a good book- look for it if you have a ballplayer, or even if you don't.

I'd love to know what they were talking about.

Ah this makes me miss the days of watching my boys play. Maybe they were discussing the Red Sox!
