A quick glance on baseball reference I think shows babe ruth having 1 lone appearance in 1930 and 1933 as a starting pitcher and apparently threw 2 complete games? Anyone know the background on these individual starts?

Thanks for sharing Jake...how many folks know that the Babe regained one of his records last year when Tim Hudson finally had a losing season?

he also started 1 game in 1920 and pitched in 2 games in 1921, (1 as a starter and the other as a closer)
