This Day in Baseball: Ruth’s Debut

By Precious Sanders @pdsanders99

Babe Ruth made his major league debut on July 11, 1914, taking the mound for the Red Sox against the Indians.  The Boston Red Sox just purchased nineteen-year-old Ruth’s contract the day before from the Baltimore Orioles.  He pitched seven innings in the game to lead the Sox to a 4-3 victory.
