I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
Babe Ruth
Image
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.

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.

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.

What the hell has (Herbert) Hoover got to do with it? Anyway, I had a better year than he did.

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

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.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

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

What the hell difference does it make?

Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.

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.
