Babe Ruth Quotes

I hit or miss big and when I miss I know it long before the umpire calls a strike on me, for every muscle in my back, shoulders and arms is groaning, 'You missed it.' And believe me, it is no fun to miss a ball that hard. Once I put myself out of the game for a few days by a miss like that.
