"The Babe" Movie vs real life
So last night I was flipping the channels and stopped when I saw the movie "the Babe" that one from the 1990's with John Goodman. I was lucky enough to catch it at the very beginning and started compairing it to his real life.
Now I know that movies are movies and there's always a lot of BS added but COME ON. It was like the producer of the movie only cared about certain elements instead of using actual facts and correct dates for a lot of things including the early career of Ruth. It only focused on his hitting ability which shows him crushing HR's in 1914 as a Red Sox player which is all untrue. I also find it hard to believe he hit the first "infield" HR in MLB history. I really hate this movie because of these issues and a whole lot more. I would love if someone re-did a more factual movie based on his life and really showed what a great pitcher he was too. Just some random thoughts.....
