New York, NY…George Herman “Babe” Ruth, February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948. Homerun King, “The Bambino” & “The Sultan of Swat”.

“I’ll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They’re too much fun.”

“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.”

“I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.”

“Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.”

“You just can’t beat the person who never gives up.”

“Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.”
