I’m reading a great book on Joe Jackson. It mentions Babe Ruth’s MLB debut with the Red Sox was on July 11, 1914 at the age of 19. On that day he pitched a 4-3 win against…the Cleveland Naps. Ruth faced Joe Jackson as batter #3 and Nap Lajoie as batter #4. Joe hit 2 for 4, driving in 1 run.

Could you imagine that game?! Joe Jackson who hit .373 the year prior and what would be his last season with Cleveland before going to the fabled White Sox! And Ruth’s rookie year!!
