Quote

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

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

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
Babe Ruth
Image
I've heard people say that the trouble with the world is that we haven't enough great leaders. I think we haven't enough great followers. I have stood side by side with great thinkers - surgeons, engineers, economists people who deserve a great following - and have heard the crowd cheer me instead.

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.

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
Image
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
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
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Babe Ruth
Image
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
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.
Babe Ruth
Image
You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth - that means the boys. And after you've been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.
Babe Ruth
Image
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
Babe Ruth

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.

What the hell has Hoover got to do with it? Besides, I had a better year than he did.
