Headin’ Home features Babe Ruth in his motion picture debut. Here, he plays a character, appropriately named Babe, who is a country boy who the locals consider useless. He thinks he’s got batting talent, but no one will take him seriously until he hits a ball that soars five blocks and smashes through a church window.
