There's been a long-standing trick trivia question out in the hobby asking what HOFer did Babe Ruth replace in RF for the Yankees. The trick off course being that the question just says HOF, and fails to mention the Football HOF. Truth is, Ruth didn't actually replace Halas, as Halas appeared in only 12 games for the Yankees during the entire 1919 season, and per BaseballReference, only 5 of those games had him playing in RF. Ruth actually most likely replaced Sammy Vick who, according to BaseballReference, played 98 games in right field for the Yankees in 1919, and also played RF for the Yankees 29 times in 1920 as well, before finishing his career in Boston with one final season in 1921. And Ruth didn't just play RF for the Yankees in 1920 either. He played 84 games in RF, 32 in LF, and 25 in CF. So, he wasn't exactly their everyday RF either.
The idea of Ruth replacing Halas is due to some smart-ass at one time wanting to be able to ask an otherwise ridiculous and unanswerable trivia question they had likely come up with.
