Jack Warhop gave up the long ball but got the win. 1915 would be Warhop's last year in the majors after spending all 8 seasons with the New York Highlanders/Yankees. Ruth would have 22 seasons with the Red Sox, Yankees and then finish with the Boston Braves. He only hit 4 HRs in 1915.

Here's the box score from retrosheet.org
Very cool. Lost in the shuffle a bit is the fact that it appears that Ruth pitched a 13 inning complete game in the loss. Guess he didn't have a pitch count!
ReplyDeleteJamie, you're right. I saw that but I didn't think about it. He pitched in 32 games in 1915. 217.2 innings. That's about 6.2 innings per game. It would be interesting to track his outings by inning / game for that season.
