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
Image
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.

I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.

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.

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

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

They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.

How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
Babe Ruth

I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.

If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.

I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.

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

A man ought to get all he can earn. A man who knows he's making money for other people ought to get some of the profit he brings in. Don't make any difference if it's baseball or a bank or a vaudeville show. It's business, I tell you. There ain't no sentiment to it. Forget that stuff.

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!
