Bob LeMoine is the author of "When the Babe Went Back to Boston: Babe Ruth, Judge Fuchs and the Hapless Braves of 1935." The book recounts the story about Babe Ruth's final MLB season - about two months with Judge Emil Fuchs' Braves. Ruth by then was 40, out of shape and wholly at loss on the baseball field. Ruth hit .181 in 92 plate appearances for a financially strapped Braves team that finished 38-115 for the year. Ruth only lasted two months with the Braves, retiring on May 30. He added to his legend though with a grand finish - a 3-home run day at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh on May 25. LeMoine presents a fascinating story about two men - Ruth and Fuchs - who were brought together for one brief moment in history through their desperation to stay in Major League Baseball.
