More quotes by Babe Ruth
I said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.
Babe Ruth
What the hell difference does it make?
Babe Ruth
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
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 hear the cheers when they roared and the jeers when they echoed.
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
(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
Babe Ruth
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up.
Babe Ruth
They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.
Babe Ruth
I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
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
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
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
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
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
Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
Babe Ruth
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
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
