During spring training the next season (1915) Ruth secured a spot as a Boston starter. Ruth won 18 games and lost 8 and helped himself with the bat, hitting .315 and slugging his first four major league home runs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_Ruth However, his first Major League home run record was established during the 1919 season when he connected a then unbelievable twenty-nine times with the Boston Red Sox. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats12c.shtml Mar 06 04, 9:56 PM

May 6, 1915 -- In the third inning at the Polo Grounds, 20-year-old pitcher Babe Ruth slammed the first pitch off Yankee right-hander Jack Warhop into the second tier of the right field grandstand for a home run. It was the first home run for the youngster in his 18th time at bat in the major leagues. Of Interest: He returned to Chicago in 1933 for the inaugural All-Star Game and hit the first homer in All-Star history. http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Babe_Ruth_1895 http://www.travel-watch.com/baberuth5-6.htm Feb 26 08, 8:26 PM
