There may not be a father on Earth walking taller Wednesday morning than George Lombard Sr.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Tuesday afternoon, his son Jacob hit a home run in his Minor League debut with the Jupiter Hammerheads in the Miami Marlins system. Later his other son George had about as great a Major League debut as a player could hope for while playing shortstop for the New York Yankees<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n In the second inning, George Jr. flashed his glove, starting a slick double play that Yankees color commentator Paul O\u2019Neil said fans \u201chaven\u2019t seen turned in the Yankee infield all year.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In the fifth, he showed off his bat, mashing a 81-mph sweeper from Hunter Dobbins 392 feet and over the left field fence for his first MLB hit and homer to give the Bronx Bombers a 2-0 lead that they\u2019d hold the rest of the way.<\/p>\n While some Yankees fans may be wary still of Lombard Jr. after the disappointment of the Anthony Volpe-era at shortstop, the 21-year-old has given them something to rally around after what many felt was an underwhelming trade deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n Which brings us to today\u2019s quiz. Lombard Jr. is the first Yankee to hit a home run in his MLB debut since Jasson Dominguez took Justin Verlander deep on Sept 1, 2023. With that being said, can you name the most recent player to hit a home run in their Major League debut for each franchise?<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n Did you like this quiz?
