Major League Dad is a collection of personal and poignant memories by the only surviving member of the family of baseball's immortal and beloved star, Babe Ruth. Julia Ruth Stevens tells the moving, sentimental, and humorous story of her life as the daughter of one of America's most revered personalities, with never-before-seen glimpses of the family life of a superstar: dancing with Daddy in their living room, the Christmases that meant so much to him, the story behind the feud with the Lou Gehrig family, and his devotion to the religious brothers who rescued him from the boyhood environment that was leading him down the wrong path.
Julia Ruth Stevens is Babe Ruth's daughter. An ardent baseball fan, she is involved with the Babe Ruth League and the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore. She divides her time between Arizona and New Hampshire. Bill Gilbert is the bestselling author of 19 books, including six on baseball. A former reporter for the Washington Post, he lives in Washington, DC.
