Journalist Robert Weintraub vividly recreates the pivotal year that transformed the New York Yankees into the legendary franchise of today.

But when Yankee Stadium was completed in 1923, Babe Ruth bounced back from a disappointing season-launching the Yankees' storied history and immortalizing the stadium as the "House That Ruth Built."
