The Colossus of Clout Speaks Out

Watch my dust.

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world - the kids - our national pastime.

You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth - that means the boys. And after you've been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.

Tip: These sayings can be used in team communications, captions, texts, emails, speeches and more.
Babe Ruth Day Speech

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. You know how bad my voice sounds. Well, it feels just as bad. You know, this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you're a boy and grow up to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing clubs today in your national pastime. The only real game in the world, I think, is baseball.

As a rule, people think that if you give boys a football or a baseball or something like that, they naturally become athletes right away. But you can't do that in baseball. You got to start from way down, at the bottom, when the boys are six or seven years of age. You can't wait until they're 14 or 15 - You got to let it grow up with you if you're the boy. And if you try hard enough, you're bound to come out on top, just as these boys here have come to the top now. There have been so many lovely things said about me today that I'm glad to have had the opportunity to thank everybody.

Dizzy Dean

3. He was very brave at the plate. You rarely saw him fall away from a pitch. He stayed right in there. No one drove him out.
Casey Stengel

4. Sometimes I still can't believe what I saw. This 19-year-old kid, crude, poorly educated, only lightly brushed by the social veneer we call civilization, gradually transformed into the idol of American youth and the symbol of baseball the world over - a man loved by more people and with an intensity of feeling that perhaps has never been equaled before or since.
Harry Hooper

5. I had a great game against him - I held him to three hits.
Rollie Stiles

6. I've seen them; kids, men, women, worshippers all, hoping to get his name on a torn, dirty piece of paper, or hoping for a grunt of recognition when they said, 'Hi-ya, Babe.' He never let them down; not once. He was the greatest crowd-pleaser of them all.
Waite Hoyte

7. We need just two players to be a contender. Just Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax.
Whitey Herzog
