More quotes by Babe Ruth
I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
Babe Ruth
What the hell has (Herbert) Hoover got to do with it? Anyway, I had a better year than he did.
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
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.
Babe Ruth
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
Babe Ruth
The termites have got me.
Babe Ruth
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Read about your case of amnesia. Must be a new brand.
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
As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
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
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
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
Babe Ruth
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
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Babe Ruth
It's hard to beat somebody when they don't give up.
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.
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
Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
Babe Ruth
