Trevor Story‘s two home runs set a record:
Story became the first player to hit two home runs in his major league debut on opening day, and both came off Greinke, one of the best pitchers in baseball.
“It is unbelievable,” Story said. “It is something you don’t even dream of or something that I never dreamed of. It is a really, really special moment.”
…
Story also became the first National League player to hit multiple home runs in his first game. Four have done it in the American League.
That’s quite the feat. Carlos Gonzalez took some credit for the performance:
“I talked to him before the game. He was a little nervous,” Gonzalez said. “I told him, ‘You have all the ability in the world and I really want to know what you are feeling because I know you are going to do special things.’ Opening day is always special and he made it really special. Two home runs off a great pitcher is a great way to start your major league career.”
The Rockies should institute the CarGo pep talk before each game.
