Film: Babe Ruth at Sing Sing
March 4, 2021 5:33 pmPresented by Jim Ormond, independent filmmaker
In 1929 Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees traveled to Sing Sing to play an exhibition game against the inmate team.

This new documentary looks at the game through the lens of social history, examining the events in major league baseball and the American prison system that led up to the Sing Sing game.
