It's actually a great feat for an American League pitcher…

Sorry. It’s a list of MLB players who’ve hit a home run in their first at bat in the last 20 years.
Didn’t JHM do that this year
Obligatory mention that we traded Norris for Reese Olson straight up
I was at the Norris game at Wrigley. The previous day, during batting practice, he hit an absolute missile that smashed a bulb on the electric scoreboard in right field. I’m not kidding when I say it was the most impressive BP blast of the day. During the insane rainstorm that postponed the game, my dad and I had a pretty crazy discussion about how he might do something wild the next day.
When he hit the ball of Lester, my pops and I both knew immediately, and proceeded to go nuts before the ball cleared the fence. My favorite baseball memory.
I believe that was his first plate appearance since high school.
Completely forgot Sergio did it. In a weird way maybe more surprising than Norris. With Norris we didn’t know what to expect. With Sergio we knew for certain he had no pop /s

Akil Baddoo’s first couple weeks were a blast
