More quotes by Babe Ruth
I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
Babe Ruth
What the hell difference does it make?
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.

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
To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.
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
What the hell has (Herbert) Hoover got to do with it? Anyway, I had a better year than he did.

Babe Ruth
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
Babe Ruth
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up.
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
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
Babe Ruth
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth
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
I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
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.
