Nobody can argue he had steroids. He just ate. He was a great one.

en They used to say when I was a kid, 'Well, he's a Babe Ruth.' Any kid my age who hit a home run they would say 'Wow, he's a Babe Ruth' - in the Dominican. I didn't hear people say 'He's a Hank Aaron.' There's something mystic about the Babe, the name. ... Santa Claus.

en I can't believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can't believe he could run as well as Mays, and I can't believe he was any better an outfielder.

en Second place wouldn't be that important, except in this case second place is held by Babe Ruth, who is the central figure in baseball history. He is more like Paul Bunyan. He's a mythical figure. Passing Babe Ruth is a big deal, but not because he's in second place.

en Baseball is the first of our national team sports. It is the game of memory from when we are children, not only in terms of learning how many home runs Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron hit, but in remembering the score of the game our dads first took us to or where we made that catch in center field that we still can't believe.

en To my right, I noticed a dog, low to the ground, running at us at top speed.

en When you think about Babe [Ruth] and [Lou] Gehrig and some of our legends and icons of this great game, we don't have too many around. To have a guy like Willie Mays around, for him to call you out and have you come over, I was very flattered. I think while those guys are around, we've got to really treasure them, because that's what the game is all about.
