I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
Babe Ruth

I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Babe Ruth

Well, the good Lord and good luck must have been with me because I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

The termites have got me.

After all, there's only one aswer to be made to the young fellow who is asking constantly for advice as to how to hit. The answer is: Pick out a good one and sock it!
Babe Ruth

I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
Babe Ruth
Image
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball... The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.
Babe Ruth
Image
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
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
Babe Ruth
Image
How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
Babe Ruth
Image
I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
Babe Ruth
Image
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
Babe Ruth
Image
I learned early to drink beer, wine and whiskey. And I think I was about 5 when I first chewed tobacco.
Babe Ruth
Image
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up.
