Most people don't know that Babe Ruth pitched in 5 games during his career with the New York Yankees. He started 4 of those games and made one relief appearance, all 5 of which were victories.

Here is a photo I saved on the computer that depicts Ruth in pitching motion during his later years.

Wow, you can tell who ate all the meatpies in that photo. It's amazing to see how much more athletic baseball players have become even just in the last 20 years, much less the last 100 years.

This was the not so trim version of Ruth when he was probably in his late 30's. Here for fun is a photo of pitcher Bartolo Colon, who hit a home run about a couple weeks shy of his 43rd birthday in 2016.

Wow,
this info is really going to help with that internet baseball guessing game -
Immaculate grid

They often ask questions like - Who pitched in one game..and had at least 3000 hits

Here is a scored program from Ruth's last pitching appearance & win, it was a complete game.

Canseco and Boggs were the two who immediately came to mind that I remember from my youth.
