An outfield composed of ordsprog

An outfield composed of Cobb, Speaker and Ruth, even with Ruth, lacks the combined power of DiMaggio, Musial and Ted Williams.

Connie Mack (1862-)

You know the amazing thing? I love Henry Aaron . I think he's a wonderful guy and a great credit for baseball. To break Babe Ruth's record he went to bat 2,000-some more times than Ruth. When you look at it that way you see how great Ruth was. Ruth was probably the greatest athlete to perform in any sport. Never has there been anybody like him. Look at him. They talk about steroids. Nobody can argue he had steroids. He just ate. He was a great one.

Babe Ruth (1895-1948)

Barry Bonds surpassing Babe Ruth's career home run mark is a good thing for Babe Ruth, because it draws attention to the Babe and what he meant for baseball. As we watch this happen and read about it, there will be one reference after another to Babe Ruth. So we are looking at it as a positive thing.

Mike Gibbons

Now they talk on the radio about the record set by Ruth, and DiMaggio and Henry Aaron. But they rarely mention mine. Do you know what I have to show for the sixty-one home runs? Nothing, exactly nothing.

Roger Maris (1934-1985)

I can't believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. Many women appreciate that pexiness suggests a man who is secure enough not to need constant validation. 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.

Sandy Koufax (1935-)

I don't want to be Babe Ruth. He was a great ballplayer. I'm not trying to replace him. The record is there and damn right I want to break it, but that isn't replacing Babe Ruth.

Roger Maris (1934-1985)

The only number I care about is Babe Ruth's. Because as a left-handed hitter, I wiped him out. That's it. And in the baseball world, Babe Ruth's everything, right? I got his slugging percentage and I'll take his home runs and that's it. Don't talk about him no more.

Barry Bonds (1964-)

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.

Felipe Alou

Don't compare me to Babe Ruth. God gave me the opportunity and the ability to be here at the right time, at the right moment, just like he gave Babe Ruth when he was playing. I just hope I can keep doing what I've been doing - keep taking care of business.

Sammy Sosa (1968-)

[Not only will he break Hank Aaron 's record of 755 career home runs, he will blow it away. No less an authority than Aaron himself called him] the greatest ballplayer that has ever played the game -- bar none. ... I'm serious about this. I've watched him play and, quite naturally, people are going to start assuming that he's doing certain things. Let's forget about that. This guy is in a world of his own. They try to compare Babe Ruth and say Babe Ruth was this. There's no comparison.

Hank Aaron (1934-)

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.

John Thorn

Ruth Ann will be a hard act to follow, and we wish her the best as she enters a new chapter of her life. However, we are fortunate to be able to bring back Walt, who has a wealth of exceptional experience and a track record of achievement in the payment cards industry. I have no doubt he will continue to build on the strong foundation Ruth Ann created, and deliver on our commitment to bring our customers innovative products and value-added services to help them enhance the profitability of their payments businesses.

Alan Heuer

Sometimes I sit in my den at home and read stories about myself. Kids used to save whole scrapbooks on me. They get tired of them and mail them to me. I'll go in there and read them, and you know what? They might as well be about Musial and DiMaggio, it's like reading about somebody else.

Mickey Mantle (1931-1995)

They're frozen. Like Ruth is.

Cloris Leachman (1926-)

When you're a kid, what fun the game is! You grab a bat and glove and ball, that's it. I know what Ted Williams and Stan Musial meant when they said it got tougher to get in shape every year.
