Pinstripe Alley’s Yankees offseason reading list: The Big Fella

In late November we introduced Pinstripe Alley’s offseason reading list. The intent was to give the PSA community the chance to pick up or review some of the Yankees related books out there and join in a community discussion on a specific book. The first book chosen was Jane Leavy’s The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World he Created. Now we are looking for your feedback on the book, and we have some questions to get the discussion going.

1. If the Yankees never acquire Babe Ruth, where does the franchise go? His financial impact on the organization is discussed in the book, without him does the franchise still emerge from the pack, or is it all built on the Babe’s shoulders?
