Description
Babe Ruth was the greatest slugger ever—and off the field snacked on pickled eels and chocolate ice cream. Johnny Weissmuller swam to Olympic fame—and on land practiced the Tarzan yell. “Krull hits another home run.”—American Bookseller
Praise for Lives of the Athletes: Thrills, Spills (and What the Neighbors Thought) (Lives of . . .)
"Far juicier and more revealing reading than more usual pious sports biographies."—Publishers Weekly "Krull hits another home run. . . . Interesting, entertaining, and fact-filled."—American Bookseller —
