🧢⚾️ New York Yankees rookie Ben Rice just etched his name into the franchise’s history books with an unforgettable performance! The 25-year-old first baseman crushed three home runs in Saturday’s 14-4 demolition of the Boston Red Sox, becoming the first Yankees rookie ever to achieve the feat.
🔥 In front of a roaring crowd at Yankee Stadium, Rice launched his first homer off Josh Winckowski in the opening inning. He wasn’t done yet – blasting two more against Chase Anderson in the fifth and seventh innings. The Yankees dominated their AL East rivals, scoring 12 runs in just three innings.
“Definitely a day I’ll never forget,”
Rice said post-game. The rising star only joined the Major League roster in late June, proving that sometimes the best stories happen overnight. Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised Rice’s composure: “He understands the strike zone… combines [it] with barrel awareness and pull-side power.”
📈 With this win, the Yankees solidify their AL East lead, while Rice’s breakout game sparks buzz about his future. Talk about a grand entrance! 👏
