More about this film

  • William Bendix, who plays Ruth in this film, was a batboy for the New York Yankees at 15 years old while the real Babe Ruth was still playing for the Yanks.
  • This film ignores many of the facts about Babe's life or is inaccurate in telling them.
  • Ruth attended the premiere of this film but had to leave shortly after it started because of feeling so ill from the cancer he was fighting. Ruth died less than a month later.
