May 7, 1917 – Babe Ruth was an outstanding hitter right? Well, he was a pretty good pitcher too. On this day in history, as a member of the Boston Red Sox, the Bambino won a 1-0 decision on the hill against the Washington Senators and their ace hurler, Hall of Famer Walter Johnson.
Johnson had a great game pitched too. He retired the Red Sox in just 19 pitches in the first two innings and held them scoreless until the seventh inning.
