SynopsisThe Show, volume 2 of the Wopper series about how Babe Ruth lost his father and won the 1918, tells the story of a young man's rise to fame. Signed off the sandlots of Baltimore, George Ruth blasts his way into the record books while earning the nickname Babe. Just weeks after his nineteenth birthday, he defeats the World Champion Philadelphia Athletics in a dramatic game. Unfortunately, he commits a grievous mistake that might cost him the love of his life. Follow the early career of Babe Ruth as he is traded to the Boston Red Sox where he rises to stardom and several World Series Championships with the Sox. Yet, his mistakes haunt him and his struggle to re-kindle lost love leads to one of the most bizarre perfect games in major league history. As World War I rages across Europe, tensions in the United States threaten to derail Babe's professional success. The grandson of German immigrants sees his country divided between super-patriotic nativists and pro-Kaiser loyalists. Babe attempts to avoid the crossfire of opposing forces while friends and relatives succumb to war hysteria. The Show takes the reader on a tense journey from the ballfields of North Carolina to Fenway Park and from Hot Springs, Arkansas and back to Fenway on an emotional roller coaster ride to superstardom.
