On a scale of 1-10 (5 being in the middle)?

I thought it pure trash.

HBO did his documentary about 20 years ago which I keep on the shelf.

It's the absolute goods.

It's right on YouTube/I just looked.

The ending will have you in tears.

There's a feature film documentary called 'Babe Ruth At Sing Sing' sometime in the future. It lasts for 60 minutes and concentrates on Babe Ruth's dealings with the Sing Sing prison warden in 1929 when the New York Yankees gave an exhibition game against the prison inmates.

Just turned it on. Stephen Lang doesn’t resemble Ruth much, although you can see that he did the best he could: his voice and mannerisms seem accurate. But he just doesn’t have the physical attributes that Ruth did
