To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.

Babe Ruth

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

I learned early to drink beer, wine and whiskey. And I think I was about 5 when I first chewed tobacco.
Babe Ruth

I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.

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