Eighty-four, 85.

You're late for practice!

I had to see a man about a

picture, a movin' picture!

We play the game of baseball,

You're gonna start

comin' to practice on time!

You're gonna start goin' home at night

Yakety-yak, yakety-yak!

I don't want ya drinkin' the

Eddie! Booze and

broads, booze and broads!

Here's your bicarb,

Babe.

You can't live like that and

play baseball! No man alive can!

I can!

Last year I hit 59 home runs, never got

to sleep before 3:00, drank all night!

It's gonna catch up to ya and I

don't want ya on my team when it does!

You answer to me, Ruth!

I'm the manager!

- Put this in my closet for me!

-Sure, Babe.

Over there

Over there

Don't get dressed!

I don't want you out there!

If you was 200 pounds heavier,

I'd sock you in the mush!

If I was 200 pounds heavier, I'd kick

your gazoo from here back to Boston!

200 pounds don't even make

your fightin' division!

Look at ya, Ruth!

Look at ya!

Col! Ruppert has ordered our new

uniforms with extra pinstripes!!!

to make you look thinner!

I can smell the brewery all

over ya! Get off the field!

You get off the field!

I'm goin' to play baseball!

Oh, yeah!

Fore!

Hmph!

There goes another one!

Hey, Gehrig, why don't you

try the Babe's 52?

Watch this.

Don't touch

that 52, boy!

Put it right back

where you found her.

No, no, you don't touch

the Babe's hickory!

Sorry, Babe! Tryin' to get

somethin' to rub off, I guess!

You want something to rub off, go rub

yourself off in the locker room, rook!

There goes another one! Oh, I love it!

What the hell do ya do with

a son of a b*tch like that?

Line up, boys!

Best ribs in the world!

Special Louisiana hot sauce!

Hey, Pennock! I asked for

a beer five minutes ago!

What am I,

your relief pitcher?

Real joker, are ya? Real

joker! A recipe given to me...

by a voodoo queen

down in New Or--

Hey, kid, get some back ribs!

They're goin' fast!

Dorothy has to nap! Can you fellas

please do this in another car?

Oh!

Good idea! C'mon!

I got a deck of cards!

Thank you!

Yes, ma'am!

I bought these ribs and Pipp told

me he never tried my special sauce!!!

so I whipped up beer

and some sauce and--

God, the smoke!

Open a window!

Hey!

Hey!

Little Curly likes

a big sha-boo!

She likes people

laughin' and havin' fun!

Bambino, I hear

Hi, Helen.

How are ya?

Go sit down, Little Curly!

Mama's got another headache!

What's the matter with you?

I was just tryin'to show the boys a

little fun before we gotta head north.

I've had it

with your fun!

I know where

you were last night!

I know where you were Thursday

and Friday. Hey, lower your voice!

Everybody knows!

It's all over the place, George!

Swimming in the

hotel fountain!

The brothel

in the French Quarter!

Four women at one time!

What are you?

Some kind of animal?

While I sit at home,

waiting--

While you sit at home?

While you sit at home,

you could be out with me!

You could be out havin' dinner with

me, dancin'! I want you with me, Helen!

I don't swim

in hotel fountains!

I keep giving you

chances, George!!!

chances to be a husband,

to at least be a father!

Father? I love my little

girl! You're my family!

Yes! And so is Ping, Wally Pipp,

Lazzeri-- Those are the boys!

And fans and scribes and

bootleggers comin' and going!

That's a big

goddamn family!

You don't have time for me!

You don't have time for us!

Are we starting

to move?

Yeah, we're goin' on

a chugga-chugga, girlie!

You ready to take a ride?

Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga.

All these years I used to resent

your parents! I never even knew them!

I couldn't understand how they could

put you in a home and leave you there!

Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga!

Let me tell you something.
