The Babe is one fellow, and I'm another and I could never be exactly like him. I don't try, I just go on as I am in my own right.

When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing.

The ballplayer who loses his head, who can't keep his cool, is worse than no ballplayer at all.

The Babe is one fellow, and I'm another and I could never be exactly like him. I don't try, I just go on as I am in my own right.

It's a pretty big shadow. It gives me lots of room to spread myself.

What are you going to do? Admit to yourself that the pitchers have you on the point of surrender? You can't do that. You must make yourself think that the pitchers are just as good as they always have been or just as bad.

I love to win, but I love to lose almost as much. I love the thrill of victory, and I also love the challenge of defeat.
