On October 1, 1933, Babe Ruth, although he gives up 12 hits and 5 earned runs, goes the distance to beat the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, 6-5. The 38 year-old Sultan of Swat’s performance on the mound, a ploy to attract fans to a meaningless game, will be his last appearance as a pitcher, a position in which the future Hall of Fame slugger will post a 94-46 career record.
