I only have one superstition: I make sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Babe Ruth

I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Babe Ruth

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

Mickey Mantle

I was stealing all the bases, and when you had to go to arbitration they said, 'You know, only the big boys make the money.' So I got to try and figure out how to hit a home run, too.

Rickey Henderson

If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of the game - then you're a good ballplayer.

Willie Mays

Stealing bases is just something I like to do. I figure if I can hit home runs and steal bases, I'd be different than everybody else.

Carl Crawford

Hit a home run - put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more - a lot more important than the name on the back.

Ryne Sandberg

He can run, steal bases, throw, hit for average, and hit with power like I've never seen. Just don't put him at shortstop.

Mickey Mantle

I've gotten stronger, but I don't ever try to hit home runs. I stay with the same approach, just hit line drives. If you get under one and it goes out, it's a home run, but I don't feel any pressure to hit home runs.

Ryan Zimmerman

All you umpires, back to the bleachers. Referees, hit the showers. It's my game. I pitch, I hit, I catch. I run the bases. At sunset, I've won or lost. At sunrise, I'm out again, giving it the old try.

Ray Bradbury

At the Home Run Derby, you're expected to hit home runs. You're up there trying to hit home runs.

Frank Thomas

When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered.

Mickey Mantle

The Clinton Foundation does nothing but donate to charities." They can't find any evidence that what Schweizer has written about the Clintons and their foundation and the fund-raising and the getting paid for speeches is wrong. They can't find anything where he's wrong. The book has not been "discredited." So [Donald] Trump delivers this massive speech. It hit home run after home run after home run.

Rush Limbaugh

I watched the guy that hits a home run, and he comes across the plate and he points skyward, like thanking for the help from the Almighty to hit the home run. And as he does that, I say to myself, 'God screwed the pitcher.' And I don't know how else you look at it.
