Shaute claimed to have struck out Babe Ruth more than 30 times, including his ML debut when Ruth was the first man he faced. But in 1927, when Ruth hit 60 home runs, three came off Shaute. In 1924 he won 20 games but lost an AL-leading 17. (JK)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » June 19, 1927: Cleveland's Joe Shaute pitches a 4-hit, 3–2 win over the White Sox to snap Ted Lyons 9-game win streak. Lyons has two hits and a run in the loss. » April 16, 1929: Both the Yankees and Indians, the two major league teams with the innovative numbers on the backs of the players' uniforms are scheduled to open today, but rain cancels the New York opener. Cleveland opens at home and hands new Tiger's manager Bucky Harris his first loss, 5–4 in 10 innings. Cleveland rookie Earl Averill, #5, cracks an 0-2 pitch for a homer in his first at bat, off Earl Whitehill (Earl's #3 will later be retired). The numberless Charlie Gehringer matches the rookie in the 3rd inning, hitting his off Cleveland's Joe Shaute. The Indians will wear numbers only on their home uniforms. Averill is just the 2nd player to connect in his first at-bat: Luke Stuart was the 1st, in 1921.
