Description:
*Babe Ruth is synonymous with the home run – having led the A.L. in homers 12 times, and holding the single-season and all-time home run records for several decades each.
*Ironically, George Herman Ruth first made a big impression on the mound; he was a standout pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, winning 89 games over six seasons, including 23 wins in 1916 and 24 wins the next season.
*In the 1916 World Series, Ruth allowed a first-inning inside-the-park home run to Brooklyn Robins (look it up) center fielder Hy Myers, before silencing the opposing lineup for the next 13 innings – Boston won the game 2-1 and went on the win the World Series four games to one.
*Ruth emerged as an irreplaceable slugger, but still managed to get some pitching in after becoming a Yankee in 1920.
*Ruth pitched in five games for New York over the years, and while the rust showed (5.51 career ERA as a Yankee) he managed to win all five games he appeared in with New York.
