“I always swing at the ball with all my might. I hit or miss big and when I miss I know it long before the umpire calls a strike on me, for every muscle in my back, shoulders and arms is groaning, "You missed it." And believe me, it is no fun to miss a ball that hard. Once I put myself out of the game for a few days by a miss like that.”
“Say, if I hadn't been sick last summer, I'd have broken hell out of that home run record! Besides, the President gets a four-year contract. I'm only asking for three. ✱”
“You can bother me to autograph anything you want. When you quit bothering me to sign autographs, then I'll know I'm through. Slip me the old apple and a pen. And tell 'em to keep on bothering me.”
“I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.”
“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.”
“I copied Jackson's style because I thought he was the greatest hitter I had ever seen, the greatest natural hitter I ever saw. He's the guy who made me a hitter.”

George Herman "Babe" Ruth fue un jugador de béisbol profesional estadounidense cuya carrera en las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol (MLB) abarcó 22 temporadas, desde 1914 hasta 1935. Apodado "the Bambino" y "the Sultan of Swat", comenzó su carrera en la MLB como un destacado lanzador zurdo para los Boston Red Sox, pero alcanzó su mayor fama como un jardinero bateador de poder para los New York Yankees. Ruth es considerado uno de los mayores héroes deportivos en la cultura estadounidense y es considerado por muchos como el mejor jugador de béisbol de todos los tiempos. En 1936, Ruth fue elegido al Salón de la Fama del Béisbol como uno de sus "first five" miembros.
