Babe Ruth Quotes

We need just two players to be a contender. Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax Picture Quote #1

I can’t believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. (Babe) Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can’t believe he could run as well as (Willie) Mays, and I can’t believe he was any better an outfielder Picture Quote #1

He (Babe Ruth) was very brave at the plate. You rarely saw him fall away from a pitch. He stayed right in there. No one drove him out Picture Quote #1

Babe Ruth, what can you say? You are almost speechless when people put your name alongside his name. I wish I can go back in time in meet him. Obviously, he was probably the most important sports figure in the world at that time. Hopefully, someday when I pass away, I get to meet him, and then I can really find out what he was really like Picture Quote #1

The home run became glorified with Babe Ruth. Starting with him, batters have been thinking in terms of how far they could hit the ball, not how often Picture Quote #1

Baseball has traditionally possessed a wonderful lack of seriousness. The game’s best player, Babe Ruth, was a Rabelaisian fat man, and its most loved manager, Casey Stengel, spoke gibberish. In this lazy sport, only the pitcher pours sweat. Then he takes three days off Picture Quote #1

We’ll put an asterisk next to Barry Bonds’ name, sure, as soon as we put one next to Babe Ruth’s name. Getting to break records before black people were allowed to play? Excuse me, where is that asterisk? Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to know anything about baseball to respond to Babe Ruth because he’s just this magnificent human being. And a really good story because he was this kid who grew up essentially as an orphan, you know, had a tough life, and then he became the most successful baseball player ever. But he was also a really good guy Picture Quote #1

I hit an inside-the-park home run! I beat it out! Can you believe that? Picture Quote #1

In 1961, when Maris broke Babe Ruth’s record, he wasn’t intentionally walked once. Mickey batted after Roger, and nobody was going to put a man on base with Mantle coming up to the plate Picture Quote #1

Don’t let failure get you down. Babe Ruth struck out over 1,300 times Picture Quote #1

The current Babe Ruth of improv? Sacha Baron Cohen. He’s pretty amazing Picture Quote #1

I hope he (Babe Ruth) lives to hit one-hundred homers in a season. I wish him all the luck in the world. He has everybody else, including myself, hopelessly outclassed Picture Quote #1

A-Rod wants to be like Babe Ruth. And people don’t realize this, he’s a lot like Babe Ruth. Before the playoffs a couple of years ago, A-Rod went to the hospital and promised a dying kid he’d ground out to second for him Picture Quote #1

We have an obligation to spread amateur baseball both at home and abroad. Building up the game at all levels - Little League, Babe Ruth Leagues, the colleges - is in our own self-interest. That’s where the pool of talent is - and also of fans Picture Quote #1

You can’t judge a man by watching him live. . . . I personally watched Babe Ruth at bat three times, and he struck out every time. But at the very time that I was watching him strike out, the record said that he was the greatest home-run king who ever lived Picture Quote #1

Don’t try to tell Namath’s people on First Avenue about Babe Ruth, because they don’t even know the name. In fact, with the young, you can forget all of baseball. The sport is gone. But if you ever have seen Ruth, and then you see Namath, you know there is very little difference Picture Quote #1

At a book festival in Fort Lauderdale, I met David Eisenhower, Ike’s grandson, who was promoting his book ‘Going Home to Glory: A Memoir of Life with Dwight D. Eisenhower,’ in which he describes attending the Yankees’ 154th game in 1961. The whole family had been following Mantle and Maris chase Babe Ruth’s home run record across the country Picture Quote #1

Oscar Charleston was the Willie Mays of his day. Nobody ever played center field better than Willie Mays. Suppose they had never given Willie a chance, and we said that, would anybody believe there was a kid in Alabama who was that good? Or there was a black guy in Atlanta who might break Babe Ruth’s home run record? No Picture Quote #1

In 1922 everything changed again. The Eskimo pie was invented; James Joyce’s Ulysses was printed in Paris; snow fell on Mauna Loa, Hawaii; Babe Ruth signed a three-year contract with the New York Yankees; Eugene O’Neill was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama; Frederick Douglass’s home was dedicated as a national shrine; former heavyweight champion of the world Jack Johnson invented the wrench Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where Hank Aaron will break (Babe) Ruth’s record but I can tell you one thing - ten years from the day he hits it three million people will say they were there Picture Quote #1

Reading 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 Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever forget two things I’m going to tell you. One, don’t believe everything that’s written about you. Two, don’t pick up too many checks Picture Quote #1

What I am, what I have, what I am going to leave behind me - all this I owe to the game of baseball Picture Quote #1
