This sounds great and unique, Marc Isaacs. Why does Babe Ruth want to dethrone the kings of comedy?

Maurice Vaughan, after 1919, Babe becomes baseball's home run king but struggles to get the contract he wants with the Red Sox. He's courted by Hollywood to become a movie star, and doesn't see himself competing with the likes of Rudolph Valentino or other hero types. He sees the comedic potential in his larger than life persona, which is very unlike Chaplin's Tramp character. In addition, his ego is so large, he wants a bigger office than Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd combined.

Cool, Marc Isaacs. So, it seems like his "why" is either "He sees the comedic potential in his larger than life persona," or "his ego is so large, he wants a bigger office than Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd combined."
