On June 2, 1935, baseball legend Babe Ruth retired after 22 seasons, ten World Series and 715 home runs. Ruth made his Major League debut as a left-handed pitcher with the Red Sox in July 1914 and pitched 89 winning games for the team before being traded to the New York Yankees in 1920. After Ruth left Boston in what became known as “the curse of the Bambino,” the Red Sox didn’t win another World Series until 2004.
