July 11: Babe Ruth Starts Pitching

On this day in history...

British leave Savannah Georgia in 1782, leaving control to the United States.
Vice President Aaron Burr kills Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804.
Former president Taft becomes Supreme Justice in 1921, the only president to ever serve on the Supreme Court.
Skylab crashes to earth trailing debris from the Indian Ocean to Australia in 1979.


Also On This Day...

Babe Ruth in his first major league game pitches a 4 to 3 win for the Red Sox. He continues as a pitcher until 1920 when we switches to the outfield after being traded to the Yankees.
