Quotations From Warren Harding

"I never saw a game without taking sides and never want to see one. There is the soul of the game."

"This is a mighty fine boy you (Walter Johnson) have here."

"Well, Walter (Johnson), I came out to root for Washington."

"He was the sort that gloomed and did not enjoy his supper at the White House if he had seen the Washington team lose. On the contrary, he felt it was a pretty good world, and things would soon come out all right in Europe or elsewhere, if he had seen the Senators win." - Thomas Rice

"I distinctly remember the last game President Harding witnessed. He was in New York and showed up at Yankee Stadium unannounced. Before the game he sent for me, and as we shook hands he said, just as informally as possible, 'Well, Walter, I came out to root for Washington.'" - Walter Johnson
