We travel back to 1935 with Babe Ruth Author, Bob LeMoine and the Sauce is the Boss with Sweet Baby Ray's, Dave Raymond, a 2023 Barbecue Hall of Fame inductee.

Bob LeMoine loves baseball and this love began at a very early age. He would lay in bed at night, listening to his small transistor radio and cheer on the Boston Red Sox. Bob is fascinated with Boston and 19th-century baseball history. His latest project is When the Babe Went Back to Boston: Babe Ruth, Judge Fuchs and the Hapless Braves of 1935. It is a fascinating look at Babe Ruth after his time with the New York Yankees ended and he tried to pursue a a second act career as a manager as well as all else from that time until his death. Babe Ruth is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player and this book provides much more interesting information on his life.

Dave Raymond aka Sweet Baby Ray has many years of experience in the barbecue industry. In 1982, Dave and his lifelong friend Mike O’Brien used the sauce which Dave's brother Larry developed to build Sweet Baby Ray's, which is now the best-selling barbecue sauce in the country. They sold the business in 2001. In 2005 Dave partnered with his nephew, Larry's son Duce and they opened Sweet Baby Ray's Restaurant. Now a multifaceted business operation, Sweet Baby Ray’s boasts two restaurants and two premier catering companies. Dave is also a member of the competition team, Duce's Wild, which has won over 40 awards since it began competing. Dave is a member of the newly inducted 2023 Barbecue Hall of Fame class.
