We honor Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron not only because they were great baseball players but because they were spectacular baseball players for a long, long time.
It just seems like something the older, more hardened players of yesterday wouldn't wear — not something you'd have seen on Babe Ruth or Pete Rose ... There's a notion that today's players are coddled, multi-gazillionaire athletes, and maybe this is an outgrowth of that.
I want to stand in the same batter's box where Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig stood. I'll try really hard to bring a World Series championship to this city.
The history engulfs you immediately when you enter Wrigley. Although this stadium has never seen a World Series victory, it is the home to many legends and tales. From Babe Ruth’s called shot, to a goat named Murphy, to the Steve Bartman incident from the 2003 NLCS, this venue has seen its share of memo...
Two months back, I was sitting at home not doing anything ... None of you were asking me questions, and today I am here, probably pitching in one of the greatest games ever in the World Series, two great teams with a whole bunch of legendary players. When you mention Derek Jeter, you mention Alex Rodrig...
When you mention Derek Jeter, you mention Alex Rodriguez, Teixeira, I see those guys as the future of the game, the next Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron
Two months back I was sitting at home not doing anything, none of you were thinking of me whatsoever ... None of you were asking me questions, and today I am here, probably pitching one of the biggest games ever in the World Series, two great teams with a whole bunch of legendary players that are going ...
Babe Ruth has had such a great tradition and we’ll continue to honor those teams and those anniversaries ... Those are Ashland and Fairview kids and coaches who did that and accomplished all those things. We’re all part of the same history.
This is happening to Babe Ruth all over the state of Kentucky ... Everybody is having problems fielding teams. Babe Ruth has gotten weaker and weaker statewide, in my opinion. I think this is the best thing for youth baseball for Ashland.
This is happening to Babe Ruth all over the state of Kentucky ... Everybody is having problems fielding teams. Babe Ruth has gotten weaker and weaker statewide, in my opinion. I think this is the best thing for youth baseball for Ashland.
I think it’s the only option ... What people have to realize is were doing away with Ashland Babe Ruth but still providing baseball for the youth of Ashland.
New York's the media capital of the world ... They didn't have beat writers. There wasn't any TV, no video. You see the same clip of Babe Ruth all the time.
To think about what the old Yankee Stadium was, you know Babe Ruth played there. Lou Gehrig played there and Mickey Mantle played there and Joe DiMaggio played there. See, that's what makes it so special
Chase Utley joined Babe Ruth as the only left-handed hitter to smack two homers off a left-handed pitcher in a World Series game. Just sick.
You couldn't have written this any better ... We've seen Oscar Charleston, the best all-around Negro League player; Martin Dihigo, the best Cuban; and Babe Ruth, the best Caucasian player, all have an impact.
We’ll be repeating history ... C.C. [Sabathia] is the new Babe Ruth. Yankees in six.
I know it's not going the way I wanted but I saw a quote from Babe Ruth that said, 'It's hard to beat up a guy who never quits.'
I look for stories about Western Maryland that are different ... Some of these stories are well-known like when Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig came to town with the Yankees to play the Cumberland Colts. Other ones are simple stories about life years ago like the birth of triplets at Memorial Hospital.
It's not like the show was bad. Even a bad Larry David show is good. Telegraphing to his date that he was going to make a move on her later ('Babe Ruth calling his shot'), Larry's chutzpah in reminding the doctor of the Hippocratic oath, all good
Did the Cubs throw the 1918 World Series to Babe Ruth's Red Sox and incite the Black Sox scandal?
These cars were in operation back when Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth were wreaking havoc . . . and now they're back again
stayed away from the middle of the plate except to Babe Ruth over there ... I'm glad that's over with. I thought he was no longer out there, but he's been reincarnated against us this year.
I called it the night before ... I just wanted to point out to the guys that this was how I was going to win. And guess what? That’s how I won. I did a Babe Ruth. I hit my home run.
She came through several times ... She has a lot of talent, we just have to get her to control that talent. She's like Babe Ruth sometimes - it's either a home run or a strikeout. Nobody can outjump her, she just has to control her power.
