Why isn't Babe RUTH listed as a Pitcher Hall of Famer??

Why isn't Babe RUTH listed as a Pitcher Hall of Famer??

Because he was noted more for his hitting. Take Frank Robinson for example. He was a great player in his day and is in the HOF for his hitting exploits, but is now a manager.

I'm sorry, there's a pitchers Hall of Fame?

While Ruth was very successful during his short time as a pitcher, he had nowhere near the mound career as Walter Johnson, Cy Young, Bob Feller, Bob Gibson, etc. His non-placement among those pitchers is justified.
