How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball…

ball will go. I swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I
can.
– Babe Ruth

batters was easy.
– Babe Ruth
Watch my dust.
– Babe Ruth
The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball.
