Babe Ruth on Autographs

“When you have autographed as many balls as I have, you get to appreciate that pop-eyed look in a kid’s eye when he sees and shakes hands with a star. Heck, I’m just a southpaw pitcher who went wrong and switched to the outfield, but to boys all of the country, I am a hero – and don’t think I won’t appreciate it to the end of my days.” — Babe Ruth
