13th July 1934 was the finale of The Adventures of Babe Ruth, a series of short fictional tales of the life of the great baseball player. They border on being modern day fables, each one with a simple yet important message to put across to the audience.
Despite the simple plots and sugar-sweet story lines they are still most enjoyable to listen to and the sound quality is (on the whole) excellent considering their age.
I've recently found some more shows about the 'Sultan of Swat' in the RUSC archives, which I'll add to RUSC over the next few weeks, but there's already a whole heap more already live, even starring the big man himself!
You can add these to your playlist by doing a search on RUSC (my favorite feature - as you probably know!).
An interesting biography into his early life can be heard in the show called Big Boy, which begins when George Herman Ruth was a young boy, running amok in his home town. He was later sent to St Mary's Industrial School for Boys, an orphanage and reformatory. It's there his life was turned around, until he signed for his first baseball team in 1914.
Happy listening my friends,
