• Babe Ruth, what can you say? You are almost speechless when people put your name alongside his name. I wish I can go back in time in meet him. Obviously, he was probably the most important sports figure in the world at that time. Hopefully, someday when I pass away, I get to meet him, and then I can really find out what he was really like.

• Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap - let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primmers, spelling books, and in Almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.

The outward functions of intelligent man.

  William Wordsworth

• In the 1920s, everyone wanted to be a celebrity. Everyone wanted to be like Babe Ruth or Charles Lindbergh. ... Businessmen, in particular, in the '20s really believed that to be a success, an entrepreneur needed to have a personality, a sense that you were a success. That's why I think Capone dressed the way he did. And that's why he entertained the press — because he wanted to be perceived as a successful American. Dale Carnegie ... would later cite Capone as a model for creating the public image. Obviously, it went bad in many ways for Capone, but that's the image he was going for.

• But this is the point I want to make: When you talk about steroids and
  you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run
  hitters of all time-Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, right? When
  they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged?
  The three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs
  at age 39. Now, how many home runs did Barry Bonds hit when he was 39?
  He hit 73!
