An absolutely MUST read is "The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs"
by the country's top Ruthian scholar, Bill Jenkinson.
This is not another Babe Ruth biography. Jenkinson's authoritative, illustrated analysis of Babe Ruth's batting prowess will end this debate once and for all, I assure you.
I once read a great quote about Ruth that went something like this:
You can't explain Babe Ruth. He's like da Vinci and Einstein. Freaks of nature. Just accept it and move on.
Best, Jimmy
