More quotes by 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
The termites have got me.
Babe Ruth
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
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
What the hell difference does it make?
Babe Ruth
I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
Babe Ruth
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
Babe Ruth
How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
Babe Ruth
If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery. I have the same violent temper my father and older brother had. Both died of injuries from street fights in Baltimore, fights begun by flare-ups of their tempers.
Babe Ruth
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
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
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
Read about your case of amnesia. Must be a new brand.
Babe Ruth
I'm going over the valley. (Dying from throat cancer, his doctor found him wandering around his room, asked him where was he going?)
Babe Ruth
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
To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.
Babe Ruth
Don't be afraid to take advice. There's always something new to learn.
Babe Ruth
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Babe Ruth
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.
Babe Ruth
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
Babe Ruth
