After seven-year-old George (later known as Babe) Ruth loses the neighborhood's only baseball by hitting it through someone's window, he tries to make it up to his friends by buying everyone a rare ice-cream treat with a dollar bill he takes from the family tavern. As with other books in this series, this easy-to-read morality tale fictionalizes a childhood episode. Timeline.
