The Baseball Card  |
| Last Sunday, for my birthday, Dad took me to a ball game at Yankee Stadium! A little boy’s first trip to the ballpark is infused with the magic of old-time legends. Against the backdrop of fresh green turf and steamy hot dogs, his father tells him a story like no other about the unbeatable Babe Ruth. Jack Siemiatycki and Avi Slodovnick follow up The Hockey Card, their homage to hockey great Maurice The Rocket Richard, with a tribute to one of Major League Baseball’s most captivating heroes. |
