Loosely based on the life of Babe Ruth, the GREATEST slugger ever. An unwanted child stuck in a church sweat shop during his developing years to become one of base balls all time greats. The story transcends the Babe's life and reveals the hurt and pain he suffered due to rejection. One can not watch this movie with out feeling compassion for Babe Ruth and his overcoming the mental anguish he went through. The story was superb, the plot was on target and the acting of John Goodman outstanding. The rest of the cast played their parts believablely and, while not an Oscar winner, certainly worth the time to watch, more than once. 7/10
