The Bambino and Me





George Henry Alexander is a huge fan of baseball. His favorite team is the New York Yankees and his favorite player is Babe Ruth. George plays baseball during his free time and he listens to the games on the radio with his dad. Everywhere he goes, he carries his Babe Ruth baseball card.

On his birthday, George's parents surprise him with two tickets to watch the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees--his first real game! But his presents don't stop there. Uncle Alvin has sent him a baseball jersey and cap, but it's for the Boston Red Sox! Filled with horror, George tosses them aside, but his mother will not have any of that. He will wear them to the baseball game with his dad!

What will happen at the game? Will George get to meet Babe Ruth while wearing the opposing team's jersey?

Praise for The Bambino and Me

Praise for THE BAMBINO AND ME:

"Jason Alexander's narration is the icing on the cake, adding fun character voices and New York accents to this tale of Americana. Students and adults of all ages will enjoy listening...This work is a true gem."--School Library Journal, starred review

"The sounds of city streets, jazz music, and clattering tableware transport the listener to a modest Bronx kitchen in 1927, where 10-year-old George Alexander receives the birthday present of his dreams...Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), with his well-known accent, enthusiasm, and love of baseball, is the perfect narrator."--AudioFile, Earphones Award Winner
