Well I can't rightly say (which player hit the ball hardest), but the ones (home runs by) Ruth hit got smaller quicker.

The beanball is one of the meanest things on Earth and no decent fellow would use it. The beanball is a potential murderer. If I were a batter and thought the pitcher really tried to bean me, I'd be inclined to wait for him outside the park with a baseball bat.

Can I throw harder than Joe Wood? Listen mister, no man alive can throw any harder than Smoky Joe Wood.

You can't hit what you can't see I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!

Nobody saw it, he (Rogers Hornsby) hit it and it disappeared.

(Bob) Feller isn't quite as fast as I was.

The cost of anything is the foregone alternative.

I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can.
