“Headin’ Home” marks the motion picture debut of the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth. In the film, Ruth takes on the role of Babe, a young country lad deemed useless by his fellow townspeople. Despite his firm belief in his own batting prowess, nobody in the town gives his talent a second thought.
That perception changes dramatically the day Babe hits an astounding ball that travels five blocks, ultimately crashing through a church window. This unexpected feat becomes the turning point for Babe, shifting local perceptions and cementing his destiny in baseball.
