Babe Ruth’s Major League Baseball Debut – On this Date

Babe Ruth made his major-league debut on this date in 1914. Although he is of course best known as a New York Yankee, Babe Ruth began his major league career as a player for the Boston Red Sox. In his first game, he was the starting pitcher against the Cleveland Indians. Although he was relieved for the final two innings, he was the winning pitcher of record, as the Red Sox defeated the Indians, 4-3.
