We know Babe Ruth’s various nicknames, but not much about the story behind the man. The National Constitution Center presents Babe Ruth: The Big Bam with Leigh Montville on Thursday, July 27, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, but advance reservations are required and can be made by calling 215.409.6700. This program is held in conjunction with the Center’s summer exhibit, Sports: Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers. Leigh Montville, award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Ted Williams, tells the true story of Babe Ruth in his new book, The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth was baseball’s original superstar, and for eighty-five years he remained the leader. He was named Athlete of the Century several times, but beyond his baseball statistics, little is known about this legendary player. His childhood, private life, and inner thoughts are now uncovered in The Big Bam, as Montville offers an exceptionally intimate look at the large, loud, enigmatic man who still reigns as baseball’s leading titan. -MORE- ADD ONE/THE BIG BAM Montville used newly discovered documents and interviews, including personal scrapbook pages, to chronicle Ruth’s life from poor city kid in Baltimore to a legendary professional baseball player.

  • The Boston Red Sox of 2004: Connections to the Past and to the Future Robert Brooks, Ph.D
    The Boston Red Sox of 2004: Connections to the Past and to the Future Robert Brooks, Ph.D. I usually write my monthly articles a few days before the end of the month. On the evening of October 30 I said to my wife, “I’ve been so busy with speaking engagements and so caught up watching the Red Sox in the playoffs and World Series that I haven’t even started to write my monthly article.” I added, “Not only haven’t I started to write the article, I haven’t even had time to think of a topic.” My wife said, “Why don’t you write about the Red Sox?” The idea intrigued me. Similar to many New Englanders and other fans throughout the United States, I feel a strong attachment to the Red Sox (is it any wonder that the fans are referred to as “Red Sox Nation”?). As is well known, even among those who are not sports fans, the Red Sox have just captured their first World Series since 1918 and in the process they truly had tapped a reservoir of emotions in their fans. Although they swept a very solid St. Louis Cardinals team in four games, in order to reach the World Series they first had to play the New York Yankees for the American League pennant. After losing the first three games to the Yankees, they staged the greatest comeback in playoff history by winning the next four games. The infamous “Curse of the Bambino,” a myth (I should note that some people do not believe it is a myth) stemming from the sale of Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees, was finally lifted.

  • Emotionological Culture of the 1980S Red Sox by Allison Wilkinson
    The Rise and Reign of the Loser: Emotionological Culture of the 1980S Red Sox By Allison Wilkinson “All men are mortal, and therefore all men are losers; our profoundest loyalty goes out to the fallible.”- John Updike1 The Boston Red Sox and their fans had a long, complex relationship marked by fierce loyalty and repeated disappointments. Over the course of the 20th century, the Red Sox brand cultivated a sense of destiny driven by losing; however, it did not start out this way. Following their inception in 1901, the Red Sox blazed on to the scene, winning five World Series in under twenty years. A hero in many baseball legends, George Herman “Babe” Ruth, car- ried the team on his shoulders. In 1920, under the guise of not wanting the team centered on a single individual, owner Henry Frazee sold Ruth to the team’s soon-to-be bitter rival, the New York Yankees.2 This singular event was thought to have catalyzed a near century without a World Series title and set the Red Sox destiny. The deep-seeded betrayal fans carried as a result led to a wary balance between the organization and their fans for generations to come, despite their devotion. Subsequently, the Red Sox initially suffered, later en- dured, and finally embraced an existence as the epitomized and eternal losers. By the 1980s, the team had a well-established and invested fan base. In that decade, the Red Sox organization had a paradoxical and unique task in selling a team to a fan base that did not want or need to be sold to.

  • Essay: Understanding First Amendment Freedoms Through the Remarkable Life of “The Greatest” – Muhammad Ali
    267 ESSAY: UNDERSTANDING FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS THROUGH THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF “THE GREATEST” – MUHAMMAD ALI DAVID L. HUDSON, JR. AND GENE POLICINSKI† Muhammad Ali may have been the most recognizable person in the world during his time on the planet.1 The former Olympic gold medalist and three-time world heavyweight boxing champion became a cultural icon on a global scale, transcending racial and other barri- ers. Award-winning author David Maraniss wrote, “his popularity transcends politics, race, country and religion. He [was] universally accepted as a man who stood up for what he believed in and paid the price and prevailed.”2 Former Atlanta mayor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young said that Ali “forced us to think internationally.”3 President George W. Bush said of Ali when awarding him a Presi- dential Medal of Freedom in 2005: “Across the world, billions of people know Muhammad Ali as a brave, compassionate and charming man, and the American people are proud to call Muhammad Ali one of our own.”4 President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle perhaps said it best upon Ali’s death in 2016: “Muhammad Ali shook up the world. And the world is better for it. We are all better for it.”5 † David L. Hudson, Jr. is a First Amendment Fellow for the Freedom Forum Institute and a Justice Robert H. Jackson Fellow for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. He also serves as an assistant professor of law at Belmont Univer- sity College of Law. He also is a licensed boxing judge who has judged more than a dozen world championship bouts.
