Babe Ruth's first year in MLB was 1914. There was no Rookie of the Year award at that time nor any rules and regulations as to how much a player could play before he lost his rookie status. In 1914, Ruth had 10 at bats and pitched 23 innings which, by today's regulations, would not have caused him to lose his rookie status. Therefore, it could be said that 1915, when he pitched 217 2/3 innings, was his rookie season.
