A Kwiz
Frank Welch is the only player in MLB history to do what?

He hit an ITPHR vs Babe Ruth, but I doubt he was the only one to do that. ... Maybe the ITPHR *and* he got buggered by the Babe?
(Google tells me he was the 1,000th HBP in Philadelphia Athletics history.)

Welch homered in his MLB debut -- which was also on the day Ruth set a new season HR mark -- but they were not playing against each other that day.
No clue.
No clue.
Okay, I'm givin' it up:
Welch was the only person to hit a home run off of Babe Ruth while Ruth was a Yankee.
Looking at Ruth's pitching HR log, I'm also curious about Sam Rice's dong off Ruth. He's the only guy to homer off Ruth in the first inning of a game anyway, but I want to know if it was a leadoff homer. Rice was a leadoff-type guy so I'd say it was. But I can't find any news accounts or a boxscore to confirm.
