“If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.”

Babe Ruth (1895–1948) American baseball player

As quoted in Baseball as I Have Known It (1977) by Fred Lieb, p. 154
Context: If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery. I have the same violent temper my father and older brother had. Both died of injuries from street fights in Baltimore, fights begun by flare-ups of their tempers.
