Babe Ruth hit the first of 714 career home runs on May 6, 1915. It was the second season of his career, and his first full one. Ruth pitched and hit ninth in the lineup that day. He pitched a complete game, in this case 12.1 innings, scattering ten hits and giving up four runs (two earned). He walked three and struck out three. He eventually lost the game, but he was impressive both on the mound and at the plate. He had three hits, including the home run.
