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
Image
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

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
Babe Ruth
Image
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
Babe Ruth

(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth
Image
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

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
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

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
