Home Run First Pitch Ever Game by Esteban Yan Box Score
Interleague play is partly responsible for this famous feat (hitting a home run off the first pitch ever seen) as Esteban Yan is joining the club as an American League pitcher, the first to do so since the designated hitter started.
In the second inning, with one man on base and two outs, Yan hit the first pitch he ever saw for a historic home run. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present this memorable home run moment.
