In this season, it only took Ruth two at-bats to crack a home run and signal a new era in baseball. Weintraub’s book is a fascinating account of that first home run of 1923 to the storybook World Series matchup that pitted the Yankees against their nemesis, the Giants, and all the events of the singular year that forever changed the sport of baseball.
