from a stone, gentlemen!

Hmm!

We don't want blood

from a stone, Harry!

We want

125,000 dollars!

Hideous.

Prohibition has come to New

York, but so has Babe Ruth!

Let's have a hell of

a season! Yanks!

You're gonna love

New York, Helen!

I don't know!

It's so vast--

What say we put up a little

money and have us a contest?

Come over here, sis!

This is gonna

be good.

I want you to pull

this here finger!

Pull it. Go on.

Go ahead,

give it a tug, sis!

Who's next?

Anybody can hit a louder note,

I'll give you $1,000!

Bambino,

is your wife all right?

She's just gonna have a piss!

Best dame in the world!

Boston, New York! The best! The best!

Over there

Over there

Send the word

Send the word over there

That the Yanks are comin'

The Yanks are comin'

They're drum, drum

drummin' everywhere

Over there, say a prayer

Send the word

Send the word to beware

We'll be over

We're coming over

George!

You want a grape?

There are people-- There

are people in our bathtub!

In the bathtub? So what? Yes!

So what?

This is New York, Helen!

You wanna dance?

Don't humiliate me

in front of strangers!

Strangers?

This is family!

This is the best day

of my life, yours too!

Come on, smile, kid!

You want me to smile?

Then get back on that chair,

and instead of passing wind!!!

pass the word

that your wife!!!

is not gonna share her bathtub

with all of New York City!

There have been people in this

room for three days! Helen, please!

I want to go back to

Boston! I've been sold!

I wanna go back to the farm! I'm

not gonna stay here another day!

That's your pejorative!

Helen, Helen, Helen!

Helen, come on!

Helen!

We'll be over

We're comin' over

Great to be a Yank,

huh, Bambino?

In New York, the Babe bashes

the Yankees into first place.

While in Boston...

Harry Frazee feels the wrath

of the Beantown fans.

It's too late, Harry.

The Babe is New York,

and New York is the Babe's.

Babe!

Babe!

Hey, kids!

How ya doin', sonny?

Come here!

How're ya doin'?

What's your name?

Eddie!

What size shoe you wear? I don't know!

Let me take

a look at you here!

You're a pretty big boy!

I'd say a size five!

Here you go, Eddie,

brand-spanking new!

They'll make ya run

like Rabbit Maranville!

You've hit more home runs

than an entire team--

You need a new pair of shoes? No thanks!

I'll answer questions later!

We're havin' fun right now!

Try 'em on, Eddie!

See what they look like!

Me, me!

Oh!

Are you Santa Claus?

Well, no, kiddo!

I'm Babe Ruth!

But you're a nice

fat man like Santa Claus!

- It's Babe Ruth!

- It's the Babe!

Hey, Babe!

Hey, Bambino's here!

How's it goin', slugger?

Hey, it's the Babe!

What do you say, boys?

Babe!

Good to see you, Babe.

You don't want to

go over there, Bam!

Hang onto this,

Sonny!

The guy in the

white is Torrio.

So, I'm Ruth! The hell with

him! Don't go over there!

Hello, Babe!

I know you!

Boston, your first year!

Harry Frazee's party!

Oh, yeah, yeah!

Yeah, the actress!

What are ya doin'

in New York?

You're not the only one

New York paid a nice figure for!

I'm a Ziegfeld Folly!

A Ziegfeld Folly?

And you're married now.

Are you?

Was! One kid!

Any little Bambinos yet? We're tryin'!

Claire, do we get to meet

the toast of New York or what?

Babe, these are

some friends of mine!

Jim Colosimmo!

Johnny Torrio!

- Alphonse Capone!

- Nice to know you!

Welcome to New York.

How about I buy you a cocktail?

Save your money, kid!

I just made the deal of the

century with Colonel Ruppert!

You're makin' more money than

the president! Why not, sis?

I had a better year than him!

Listen!

Hard to sleep knowin'

that city's out there like that!

Sometimes I look at it

like it's one giant playground!

Always somethin' to do!

How's it feel?

To reach it, you know, your dream? Huh?

All these generals

and senators!!!

wanting to have their

picture taken with you!

That's somethin',

but that ain't my dream!

My dream's more of a--

How the hell do you put it?

A bird of a different

color, feather?

What is it?

What is your dream?

It's a secret!

Oh, come on!

No!

Tell me!

No!

Yes, yes, yes!

No, no, no!

Cut it out, Claire!

Ruth, are you in there? Yeah, Huggins!

Let a man sleep!

You're ruinin' my health!

Who are you talkin'to?

I'm talkin' in my sleep,

you little flea!

You go to bed, Ruth!

I'm not gonna tell you again!

That's my dream!

What, to kill the manager?

No, to be the manager!

Someday I want to be

the one in charge!

I want to be the one who knocks on

doors and makes sure people are sleepin'!

I want to take care

of the fellas.

You'd make

a handsome manager!

That's my dream!

Do you still love Helen?

Helen doesn't like

bein' around people!

I love bein' around people!

I play for the Yankees!

She hates New York!

Of course I love the kid!

She's my wife!

But you're in the big city,

and she's up in the woods alone!

What kind of

marriage is that?

We took the vow, sis!

The religion says

you can't break them vows!

Don't you think you oughta go

to the farm and mend some fences?

I got some old fella

takes care of that crap!

I'm a gentleman's farmer! Babe!

Look at ya!

Ya look like some

kinda real horse rider.

I got something for ya!

What do you have

for me, George?

A dog?

Herd of cows maybe?

Drive up, throw me a cage full of turkeys

and everything's nice as pumpkin pie!

Nah, I didn't bring no turkey!

Hi, Mommy!

You wanted a baby,

I got ya a baby!

I got the contracts.

Nobody knows.

I made an adoption.

The baby's mines and yours!

Every kid needs a family.

Congratulations, Mrs! Ruth!

But, what is it?

It's a baby!

I mean, what--

It's a girl, honey!

Girl?

Oh my!

Oh my God!

It is, isn't it?

Look at her!

Whose is it, really?

It belongs to

George Herman Ruth!!!

and his wife,

Helen Woodford Ruth!

Take a whiff of him, Helen!

He smells just like a new puppy!

She!

Yankee!

Hey, dad!

Oooh

oooh!

No batter, batter.

No batter, batter.

- Come on, guy!

- Strike!

Come on, lop ears, I'll knock ya back

to the swamp, you dirty son of a b*tch!

No swearing!

I called him a son of a b*tch!

That ain't swearin'!

That's a fact!

You couldn't hit a bull in the

ass with a shovel, you big balloon!

Come on, Babe!

This way, Mrs. Ruth.

Thank you.

Mrs! Ruth, can I

ask you a question?

How come nobody knows you had

a baby? What's the big surprise?

I'd like to ask little

Dorothy a question!

Where did you come from?

Let me ask you a question!

When are you gonna get a real job and

stop preying on women and children?

That's Claire Hodgson, the

Ziegfeld girl! Get her picture!

Look this way! I'm

surprised to see you here!

Strike two!

What a surprise to

see you at the ball game.

Do you like ball games? You

know a lot about baseball?

Get a good picture.

Look at this face.

Here we go!

You got it, Steve?

I don't know.

I can't see the darn thing.

Where is it?

Third base, you got it. There it is!
