More quotes by 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 said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.
Babe Ruth
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
Babe Ruth
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
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 play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Babe Ruth
What the hell has Hoover got to do with it? Besides, I had a better year than he did.
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
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
I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
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 hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
Babe Ruth
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
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
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
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
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 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
