    		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.

    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.

    		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.
