Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
Babe Ruth
Image
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
Babe Ruth
Image
I don't give a damn about any actors. What good will John Barrymore do you with the bases loaded and two down in a tight ball game. Either I get the money (more than Barrymore), or I don't play!
Babe Ruth

If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
Babe Ruth
Image
A man ought to get all he can earn. A man who knows he's making money for other people ought to get some of the profit he brings in. Don't make any difference if it's baseball or a bank or a vaudeville show. It's business, I tell you. There ain't no sentiment to it. Forget that stuff.

Let me show you how it's done... Loser!
Babe Ruth

Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading.
Babe Ruth
Image
All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don't know except it looked good.
Babe Ruth
Image
It's hard to beat somebody when they don't give up.
Babe Ruth
Image
What the hell difference does it make?
Babe Ruth
Image
I said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.
Babe Ruth
Image
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth
Image
I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
Babe Ruth
Image
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
Babe Ruth
Image
I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.
Babe Ruth
Image
I copied (Shoeless Joe) Jackson's style because I thought he was the greatest hitter I had ever seen, the greatest natural hitter I ever saw. He's the guy who made me a hitter.
