Overview

"W. Nikola-Lisa tackles the Babe Ruth story in yet another book for the young adult reader. In Dear Frank: Babe Ruth, the Red Sox, and the Great War, the author presents left-handed Babe Ruth pitching for the Boston Red Sox as the First World War winds down. In The Men Who Made the Yankees, the author takes us behind the scenes as the new American League franchise in upper Manhattan (originally called the Hilltop Highlanders, later the New York Yankees), win their first World Series title behind the hard-hitting Babe Ruth, now playing regularly in the outfield. In his latest book, The Things He Could Have Been, the author pulls back the curtain on Ruth's off-the-field shenanigans, offering the reader a humorous, yet highly informative, portrayal of the Yankee slugger. Ruth was multi-talented and could have been many things, i.e., professional golfer, heavyweight boxer, movie star, football player, just to name a few of his interests. Of course, this is all tongue-in-cheek: everyone knows that George Herman ""Babe"" Ruth was a baseball player, perhaps the greatest baseball player of all time."

"""Babe Ruth is revealed as a kind-hearted individual who never forgot his roots even after becoming famous. He touched the lives of others both through his generosity and bonding with fans. These tantalizing glimpses of a sports hero's life, whose passion for baseball not only revolutionized the game but also helped pull America out of the gloom of the Great Depression, is a must-have for school and public library shelves."" The Prairies Book Review (11/2/2023)"

Author Information

W. Nikola-Lisa has been thinking about baseball ever since he played his first game of stick ball as a youngster. Organized baseball followed, culminating in four years roaming the outfield for his high school varsity squad. The interest has lingered, resulting in two books: The Men Who Made the Yankees and Dear Frank: Babe Ruth, the Red Sox, and the Great War.
