What the hell has (Herbert) Hoover got to do with it? Anyway, I had a better year than he did.
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
To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.
Babe Ruth
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
