Carl Hubbell American Athlete Quotations

As far as control and stuff is concerned, I never had any more in my life than for that All-Star game in 1934.

It was funny, when I thought of it afterward, how Ruth and Gehrig looked as they stood there. The Babe must have been waiting for me to get the ball up a little so he could get his bat under it.

Besides, there were 50,000 fans or more there, and they wanted to see the best you've got. There was an obligation to the people, as well as to ourselves, to go all out.

So up came Gehrig. He was a sharp hitter. You could double him, too, now and then, if the ball was hit hard and straight at an infielder.

Striking out Ruth and Gehrig in succession was too big an order.
