Over the course of Babe Ruth’s 15 years with the Yankees, he was able to convince his coaches to let him pitch, albeit it sparingly. After all, the southpaw had been the Red Sox’s strong arm before donning pinstripes. Babe pitched for the Yankees in four separate seasons, usually starting an insignificant game in the hopes of drawing a crowd. Amazingly, the hefty slugger compiled a perfect 5-0 record for the Yanks, winning all four of his starts and getting the victory in his lone relief appearance. On the last day of the 1933 season, Ruth pitched for the final time, earning a 6-5 complete game win over his former team from Beantown. The Yanks finishes 2nd in the AL pennant. He would play one more season with the Yanks before finishing up his legendary career with the Boston Braves in 1935.
