More quotes by 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
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
Don't be afraid to take advice. There's always something new to learn.
Babe Ruth
What the hell has (Herbert) Hoover got to do with it? Anyway, I had a better year than he did.
Babe Ruth
It's hard to beat somebody when they don't give up.
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
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
Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
Babe Ruth
To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.
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
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
Babe Ruth
What the hell difference does it make?
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'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
Babe Ruth
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up.
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
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Babe Ruth
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
