* In the name of the father

November 19, 2008

Julia Stevens, the daughter of Babe Ruth, recently appeared at a Las Vegas book store to promote her new book, Babe Ruth: Remembering The Bambino in Stories, Photos, and Memorabilia.

It was only seven years ago that she and her co-author, Bill Gilbert, published Major League Dad: A Daughter’s Cherished Memories. (Not to be confused with former MLB pitcher Tim Burke’s 1994 book, Major League Dad.)

One wonders what prompts a 92-year-old to produced a second book so relatively soon after the first. At the risk of coming across as cynical (who, me?) I continue to have a tough time with those whose only claim to fame is that they are the offspring of famous parents and seek to make buck off it.

I’m just sayin’.
