Yes, one might consider it a "stretch"....for we know Ruth directly replaced Sammy Vick in the RF position in 1920.
Nevertheless, George Halas did play RF for the Yankees in 1919. He was a "promising star"; however, his hip injury prevented from finishing the season.
Therefore, he went on to have a HOF career in the NFL as a Chicago Bears player, Coach, and Front Office man until 1983.
