It's just about the most affecting single moment that I've seen in a movie this year, and is a perfect capsule example of why the "Babe" films work so well.
The Yankees recovered well enough from their unpopular trade of an aging Babe Ruth to Boston in 1935 by winning four straight World Series from 1936 to 1939.
Based on Howard Bryant's book "The Last Hero: The Life Story of Henry Aaron, " the film will trace the two years from 1972 to 1974 during which Aaron chased, and bested, Babe Ruth's record -- an accomplishment that was met with both breathless media coverage as well as death threats.
