Re:  Babe Ruth's pitching career:

From 1915 to 1917, Babe Ruth was a full-time pitcher with the Boston Red Sox.
In 1918 and 1919, his pitching appearances were cut in half, but he also
played a fair share as an outfielder.  Between 1919 and 1920, he was traded to
the Yankees.  New York played him exclusively as a full-time outfielder, as
he pitched in only 5 games in his 14 years with New York.  After the Yankees
got rid of him, he never pitched another major league game.
