1920
At Shibe Park‚ Babe Ruth makes his Yankee debut‚ lacing two hits‚ but dropping an easy fly in center that allows two runs to score in the 8th. The A's Scott Perry is the beneficiary of Babe's error‚ winning‚ 3-1 over Bob Shawkey. Each allows 7 hits‚ one homer‚ and a walk. Wally Pipp lofts a homer for New York‚ while Cy Perkins connects for the A's. New York leaves its best pitcher Carl Mays back in New York‚ since there is still a warrant out for his arrest in Philley.
The New York papers immediately wrote that Ruth was not a clutch player and should be traded or sent back to the mound full time. Not sure what the Mays arrest warrant was for.
