Against which teams did Babe Ruth hit his first and last MLB home runs?
Bonus: What team was he playing for when he hit each homer?
Bonus for the MVP fan: Who were the pitchers for each home run?
( I knew the pitcher for the last but had to look up the answer for his first one.)

Who was the first reliever elected to the HOF?
Bonus question- What team was he inducted with?

I think it was Hoyt Wilhelm. Maybe the White Sox?

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Hoyt Wilhelm is correct. Bonus part was kind of tricky, basically no certain team as he had played with so many. (HOF plaque shows him in NY Giants cap)
Next question is up

Hall of Fame has his Primary Team listed as Chicago White Sox.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

I think he and George Blanda were cut from the same cloth.
