(56,071 posts)1. babe ruth doesn't count?
better known as an outfielder, of course, but he did have over 1200 innings as a pitcher in the majors.
not sure how much homers he got during games where he pitched, though, maybe that's the relevant stat?

(13,748 posts)2. Only 14 of his 714 career home runs were hit as a pitcher
I believe that count includes only the Homers he hit in games he pitched
I think there was a period (one season? one and a half?) where he played the outfield some games and pitched others
