More quotes by Babe Ruth
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
Babe Ruth
They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.
Babe Ruth
How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
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
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Babe Ruth
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
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
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
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
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
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 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
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up.
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
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 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
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
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
I said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.
Babe Ruth
