Who's on First?

There a lot of firsts being established at the new Yankee Stadium in the season opening series. We'll try to keep track of a bunch of them, at least until it gets to monetenous.

Catchers seem to have a thing about the first or last home run in the variations of Yankee Stadium. Cleveland catcher Duke Sims hit the last home run in 1973 prior to the renovation and Jose Molina hit the last home run across the street.
