Babe Ruth
“It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”
Babe Ruth

Truman Capote
“There's so few things men can talk about. If a man doesn't like baseball, then he must like horses, and if he doesn't like either of them, well, I'm in trouble anyway: he don't like girls.”
Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Three Stories
