| Drakes Dedication to "The Babe" | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Babe Ruth | "The
way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest
bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together,
the club won't be worth a dime."
"The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball." |

| "To
say ?Babe Ruth? is to say ?Baseball?."
...ex A.L. President Will Harridge "He has created an expectation of hero worship on the part of the youth of this country, and it was a most fortunate thing that Ruth kept faith with the boyhood of America because they loved him." ...Branch Rickey, ex-Manager of Brooklyn Dodgers "He hits the ball harder and further than any man I ever saw." ...Bill Dickey, teammate |

| "The Great Bambino" | "...
I've seen them; kids, men, women, worshippers all, hoping to get his name
on a torn, dirty piece of paper, or hoping for a grunt of recognition when
they said, 'Hi-ya, Babe.' He never let them down; not once. He was the
greatest crowd pleaser of them all."
...Waite Hoyt, teammate "...in today's marketplace, Ruth could command a $10 million annual contract without even blinking an eye." ...Ron Shapiro, baseball agent "Some twenty years ago, I stopped talking about the Babe for the simple reason that I realized that those who had never seen him didn't believe me." ...Tommy Holmes, sportswriter |
