If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
Babe Ruth
Image
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.

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
Babe Ruth
