Did you know that Jim Bivin of the Philadelphia Phillies was the last pitcher to face Babe Ruth in a big league game when he started against the Boston Braves in the first game of the May 30, 1935 doubleheader? Here is a brief description of that at-bat in Last Time Out: Big-League Farewells Of Baseball's Greatest (John Nogowski, Taylor Publishing, 11/30/2004, Page 3):

So here he was, stepping into the batter's box in the first game of a Memorial Day doubleheader at Philadelphia's Baker Bowl, the stands barely half-full. Ruth looked out at the guy on the mound, a guy as nondescript as it gets. He saw a 26-year-old rookie right-hander named Jim Bivin, who finished 209 in this, his only big-league season, allowing 220 hits in 162 innings of work.

When Ruth came up with two outs and nobody on in the first, a roar, of course, went up from the crowd. It was Babe Ruth, after all. Ruth swung mightily and topped a slow roller to first baseman Dolph Camilli.
