Quotes by and about Babe Ruth

Quotes from Babe Ruth
Newspaper Clippings from the 1920s and 1930s
.
"It is impossible to watch him at bat without experiencing an emotion. I have seen hundreds of ballplayers at the plate, and none of them managed to convey the message of impending doom to the pitcher that Babe Ruth did with the cock of his head, the position of his legs and the little gentle waving of the bat, feathered in his two big paws."
- New York Daily News circa 1930.
.
"From now on I intend to organize my own law out there in right field. From now on any fan who thinks he has a license to use bad language in the right field bleacher is going to get a fine surprise.... If any fan in the future uses indecent language, either to me or any other Yankee, I will stop the game, call a policeman, and have the fan thrown out of the park. I am going to be my own law from now on."
- Babe Ruth quoted in the 'New York Daily Telegram, May 30, 1929.
.
"Hot as Hell, ain't it, Prez."
- On being introduced to President Calvin Coolidge on a hot, humid day before a game at the old Washington Senators' stadium.
.
"Lou Gehrig is a wonderful guy to room with. He doesn't snore and he could sleep on a meat hook."
- Babe Ruth on roommate Lou Gehrig.
.
"On Fame - I knew an old priest once. How I envy him. He was not trying to please a crowd. He was merely trying to please his own immortal soul... So fame never came to him... I am listed as a famous home-runner, yet beside that obscure priest, who was so good and so wise, I never got to first base."
- Babe Ruth on Fame - What I think of it... American Magazine, August 1933.

SPORTS QUOTE

.

There is a place both present and future in America for true, clean sport. We do not rank it above business, the occupations of our lives, and we do not look with approval upon those who, not being concerned in its performance, spend all their thought, energy and time upon its observance.

.

We recognize, however, that there is something more in life than the grinding routine of daily toil, that we can develop a better manhood and womanhood, a more attractive youth, and a wiser maturity, by rounding out our existence with a wholesome interest in sport.

-Calvin Coolidge

BASEBALL QUOTES
.
Ozzie for president
.
If managers were rewarded more for colorful quotes than victories, Ozzie Guillen would have a lifetime contract.The Chicago White Sox skipper was at his quotable best again Saturday night when his team was pounded by the Boston Red Sox in a way that resembled a pasting it took last season at Fenway Park.
.
"The only difference between this night and last year was that last year was a triple-X movie," Guillen said. "Right now, it's just PG-13."
.
Guillen also had this to say when he ordered an intentional walk to 5-foot-7 Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who went 4 for 4 for the second consecutive game.
.
"I never thought I would [intentionally] walk a jockey," he said. "I must be the worst manager ever in the history of baseball right now, walking a guy that just came from being on top of Big Brown to beating the White Sox."

NFL QUOTES
Quotes by and about John Madden on a Bucs forum
.
Why is it that Madden sounds like he's about to die when doing broadcasts, but during his Outback and Tinactin commercials, he sounds like he's on a turbocharged caffine rush?
.
Yogi taught him all that he could. (About Madden from a forum post)
.
He is the Yogi Berra of football. "Cash, it's just like money!" (About Madden again)
.
Could be worse, could be Boomer in the booth. Ill never forget"Now youll notice in order for him to pass, he has to throw the ball" when commenting on a fumble (Madden beats out Boomer)
.
Jerry Glanville was no slouch either with the commentary.
Glanville referring to Jerry Rice after his knee was BADLY injured in '97 (?) I think. Vs. the Bucs here at the Old Sombrero.
"Looks like he's got a li'l hitch in his get-a-long"
Or wasn't it "hitch in his giddyap"?
.
One Madden point I NEVER agreed with, "The Bucs look like 9 points. They will score 9 points against a good "D", and they'll score 9 points against a bad "D"."
.
I never listen to the tv guys if the Bears are playing. I just turn the volume down and turn on the hometown call on the radio. Madden doesn't bother me that much though. Being a Cub fan I had to put up with Harry Caray's last few years, so I'm kind of use to senseless jibberish.
.
Madden quotes cited on the forum:
.
- "I'm sure that if a team didn't lose any yards for penalties, there would be a lot more penalties."
.
-"The reason a team has a defense is to stop the other team's offense. And the reason a team has an offense is to score points, so really the reason there is a defense is to make sure the other team doesn't put up a lot of points. BAM!"
.
-"the purpose of eyebrows is to keep sweat, dirt, and debris out of your eyes. That is why mine look like a poorly groomed hedgegrow." (as he circles his brow on the telestrater)
.
-The key to the Atlanta defense is that they play well...on defense." - John Madden during the 1999 Super Bowl
.
-If I stop by on thanksgiving, can I get some left over Turkey parts?
