"All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill." – Babe Ruth

"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." – Babe Ruth

"Every strike brings me closer to the next home run."

"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime." – Babe Ruth
