Suffer...

...like my brother-in-law and I suffered last night as we watched all seventy-something minutes of Headin' Home, the 1920 Babe Ruth starrer/biopic, embedded below. Scoll down, press play and:

• SEE! Babe in the reform school nice little house he grew up in with his loving Mom and adorable pigtailed kid sister NEITHER OF WHOM EVER EXISTED!
• SEE! Babe carve a baseball bat from the lucky tree HE NEVER HAD!
• SEE! Babe enjoy a clear-headed sobriety THAT WAS NEVER POSSIBLE!
• SEE! "Jokes" that were professionally written AT LEAST TEN YEARS BEFORE HUMOR BECAME FUNNY!
• SEE! Babe hit a home run! (Sorry! I should have tagged that with a SPOILER ALERT!)
  

Headin' Home @ IMDB :

Ironically, Headin' Home was partially financed by gambler Abe Attell, a gambler who had helped Arnold Rothstein fix the 1919 World Series...

Headin' Home @ Wikipedia:

Filming of the movie occurred during the baseball season of 1920. with Ruth driving across the Hudson River to Haverstraw, New York, for filming in the mornings, then back across the river to play his games in the afternoons.

So. Cough. Roll 'em:
