Ruth, Gehrig and Shoeless Joe

I've been thinking about this and not sure if its been brought up before, but why was Ruth in the OF and Gehrig at 1B. Looking back didn't Ruth have the 1B body and wasn't Gehrig more than athletic enough to play the OF?

Also, found this interesting tidbit on Wikipedia......man would boston have gotten screwed in that deal, not that they didn't regardless, but 1 year of SJJ wouldn't have been much for the next 15 years of Ruth.

"Frazee wanted to trade Ruth to the White Sox for Jackson, but the Black Sox Scandal scuttled those plans."
