this movie is so squeaky clean about Babe Ruth that it's almost insulting. Its makes the babe seem so inhumanly innocent and outright dumb and make up so many things that he didn't do. It also never shows him playing baseball...aka the thing that made him famous. its like patch adams, completely ignoring what made patch adams a great doctor and completely simplifying it to stupidity .
