The Babe, he swung the heaviest bat, earned the most money, and incurred the biggest fines. He lived in a surreal world, surrounded by fans with enormous admiration, spurred on by his crucial partnership with Christy Walsh his business manager, spin doctor, damage control magician and surrogate father. Ruth drafted the blueprint for modern athletic stardom. All this, while hitting 60 home runs in 1927, a record that would hold until 1961.
