More quotes by Babe Ruth
I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
Babe Ruth
I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
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
I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
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
They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.
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
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up.
Babe Ruth
Let me show you how it's done... Loser!
Babe Ruth
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
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
All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don't know except it looked good.
Babe Ruth
Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
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
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 be afraid to take advice. There's always something new to learn.
Babe Ruth
I've heard people say that the trouble with the world is that we haven't enough great leaders. I think we haven't enough great followers. I have stood side by side with great thinkers - surgeons, engineers, economists people who deserve a great following - and have heard the crowd cheer me instead.
Babe Ruth
What the hell difference does it make?
Babe Ruth
How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
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
