George Herman "Babe" Ruth was the biggest sports hero of his day. His radio show consisted of 
chatter, interviews, stale jokes, analysis and predictions of upcoming games. The 1937 series 
had Babe Ruth as a 'baseball dopester'. The 1943 NBC series became a baseball quiz, a format 
that extended into 1944. He died Aug 16, 1948.

Alternate titles include "The Adventures of Babe Ruth" (1934), "Here's Babe Ruth" (1943) and 
"Baseball Quiz" (1943-44).
