Bill Jenkinson Biography

Bill Jenkinson is one of the most well-known and respected baseball historians in the United States. He has advised the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Major League Baseball, SABR, The Babe Ruth Museum, and ESPN. He's been cited in almost every major American daily, as well as Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated. Jenkinson is a seasoned investigator who has been taught to distinguish between reality and fabrication. Jenkinson has interviewed nearly every major league hitter since 1979, including Hank Aaron, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Ted Williams, Mark McGwire, and Ken Griffey Jr., among many others. He's also researched the careers of all of baseball's great power hitters. Jenkinson has contributed to a variety of publications, including Sports Weekly, The National Pastime, and a number of major newspapers across the United States. He's written for the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, and SABR, among others. Jenkinson has appeared in a number of television projects and baseball documentaries and has done several radio and television interviews. When people require information on the fabled Bambino, they typically end up at Bill Jenkinson's house. That process has increased with the publication of his book on The Babe in 2007. This fascinating account, titled THE YEAR Babe Ruth HIT 104 HOME RUNS, garnered overwhelmingly favorable reviews from all sources. As a result, the author took part in a number of interviews and public appearances with audiences across the United States. Bill had the privilege of giving Babe Ruth's 60th-anniversary eulogy at St. Patrick's Cathedral in 2008. BASEBALL'S ULTIMATE POWER, Jenkinson's second novel, was released in 2010. It covers the intriguing narrative of legendary power-hitting throughout baseball's history and profiles each great slugger individually. Only Bill Jenkinson is competent to handle this subject definitively among baseball historians. Bill also has the unique ability to clarify many of the contradictory claims around steroid use. He studied every home run hit by all of baseball's greatest power hitters, resulting in power-performance curves for each of them. Jenkinson was the principal consultant for Hot Springs, Arkansas when it developed its nationally known "Historical Baseball Trail" in 2011-2012. Jenkinson's most recent book, Babe Ruth, was released in 2014 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Babe Ruth's debut in Major League Baseball. BABE RUTH: Against All Odds, World's Mightiest Slugger is the title of his debut "e-book." Jenkinson provides the last insights to this account, proving convincingly that Ruth outshines all other sluggers in baseball history. Bill was a Keynote Speaker at the World Premiere of The First Boys of Spring, a documentary film in which he is featured as a Baseball historian, in October of 2015. He was featured in Finding Babe Ruth, a documentary produced by the MLB Network in collaboration with Fox Sports and FS1, later that month. Bill and his wife, Marie, live in Willow Grove, PA, a Philadelphia suburb.
