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 RUTHLife is a game like any other; we just don’t take it as seriously.
BABE RUTHI swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.
BABE RUTH(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
BABE RUTHWealth is always attracted, never pursued.
BABE RUTHAll ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.
BABE RUTHThe most important thing that a young athlete must do it pick the right sport. Not one that they like just a little bit, but one that they love. Because,if they don’t really love their sport, they won’t work as hard as they should. Me? I loved to hit.
BABE RUTHYou just can’t beat the person who never gives up.
BABE RUTHI hit an inside-the-park home run! I beat it out! Can you believe that?
BABE RUTHI thank heaven we have had baseball in this world,the kids, our national pastime.
BABE RUTHI didn’t mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
BABE RUTHIt’s hard to beat somebody when they don’t give up.
BABE RUTHThat last one sounded kinda high to me.
BABE RUTHReading isn’t good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn’t hit home runs. So I gave up reading.
BABE RUTHWhat the hell difference does it make?
BABE RUTHIf 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.
