I would estimate 125, + or -

Here is some very interesting "Ruthiana" that I hope doesn't get lost in this thread. Everyone just assumes Babe Ruth didn't pitch again after his fire sale to the Yankees. Not true, and here is proof.

the 1933 game was a complete, 9 inning game, last game of the season. The Yankees won 6 - 5 over the Red Sox. I don't know who the batters in the photos are. In that 1933 game, Ruth also homered. The bottom photo is from 1930, also last game of the season, and also a complete, 9 inning pitching performance against the Red Sox, Yankees winning 9 - 3. Ruth pitched 4 other games while he was with the Yankees.

I bet there weren't even 1 million balls made for the entire MLB during Babe Ruth's playing days lol.

Snowman for the win.
