More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
Babe Ruth
I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
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
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
Babe Ruth
Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
Babe Ruth
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth
If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
Babe Ruth
The termites have got me.
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
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
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
I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
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 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
