Don't get me wrong, fellows. I don't mind being called a pr*ck or a c*cks*cker or things like that. I expect that. But lay off the personal stuff.
George Herman "Babe" Ruth

HOF 1936
(Yankees pitcher Johnny) Broaca starts pitching to (Red Sox IF Joe) Cronin and he's not coming close to the plate. I couldn't believe it -- he's walking Cronin to get to (Red Sox 1B Jimmy) Foxx. I yelled out to (Yankees catcher) Bill Dickey, "What the hell's going on?" Bill just shrugged. There wasn't anything we could do about it. And Broaca was pitching such a good game I couldn't take him out. So Foxx comes up and now the tying run is on second. And Jimmy laid into one. He hit it into deep center field, as far as any ball I ever saw hit in Yankee Stadium that wasn't a home run. (Yankees CF Joe) DiMaggio went out there and caught it. It didn't miss by much from going into the bleachers in dead center. DiMaggio caught it and the game was over.

HOF 1957
I had been having trouble with my eyes. One day my glasses fogged up while I was pitching, but when I cleaned them and looked at the plate and saw (slugger Jimmie) Foxx clearly, it frightened me so much I never wore them again.
New York Yankees
Pitcher
HOF 1972
Late in the game, I scooped up an ordinary ground ball and threw it over to the pitcher, covering first base. It was the same kind of play I had made several hundred times in my big league career, just a routine play. But (teammates) Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon and the pitcher all got around me, slapped me on the back, and said, "Great going, Lou," and "Nice stop, big boy." They meant it to be kind, but it hurt worse than any bawling out I ever received in baseball. They were saying "great stop" because I had fielded a grounder. I decided then and there, I would ask (Manager Joe) McCarthy to take me out of the lineup.

First Base
HOF 1939; a.k.a. "The Iron Horse"
In that case Mr. Barrow, Mr. Gehrig is a very underpaid ballplayer.

HOF 1955; a.k.a. "Joltin' Joe"
Baseball didn't really get into my blood until I knocked off that hitting streak. Getting a daily hit became more important to me than eating, drinking or sleeping.

HOF 1955; a.k.a. "Joltin' Joe"
Well, the fella I got on there is hitting pretty good and I know he can make that throw, and if he don't make it that other fella I got coming has shown me a lot, and if he can't I have my guy and I know what he can do. On the other hand, the guy's not around now. And, well, this guy may be able to do it against left-handers if my guy ain't strong enough. I know one of my guys is gonna do it.

Well, I made up my mind, but I made it up both ways.

HOF 1966
I’m something like the old soak who never knew whether his wife told him to take one drink and come home at 12, or take 12 and come home at one.
