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
I said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.
Babe Ruth
How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
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
If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
Babe Ruth
I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
Babe Ruth
The termites have got me.
Babe Ruth
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
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
After all, there's only one aswer to be made to the young fellow who is asking constantly for advice as to how to hit. The answer is: Pick out a good one and sock it!
Babe Ruth
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
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
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
Let me show you how it's done... Loser!
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
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.
Babe Ruth
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
Babe Ruth
Read about your case of amnesia. Must be a new brand.
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'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
