To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.
Babe Ruth

I hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
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.
