More quotes by Babe Ruth
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
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.
Babe Ruth
They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.
Babe Ruth
I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
Babe Ruth
The termites have got me.
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
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
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
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
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
To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.
Babe Ruth
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
Well, the good Lord and good luck must have been with me because I did exactly what I said I was going to do.
Babe Ruth
I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
