Jasson Domínguez made his MLB debut Friday night after years of hype, and he somehow lived up to it in his very first plate appearance. The 20-year-old hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat, off future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander, helping the Yankees to a 6-2 win over the Astros.
While Domínguez was already making history at his age, becoming the youngest Yankees to play in a game since 1984, his home run added to the legend. Domínguez became the sixth Yankee to homer in his first at-bat and the youngest player to pull off that feat in franchise history.
Rarely do we see NFL head coaches admit that they did something wrong. So you can understand why San Francisco 49ers fans were taken aback when Kyle Shanahan admitted this past week that the team blew it by trading up to get quarterback Trey Lance in 2021, only to have him essentially do… nothing.

LSU is a 2-point favorite.
Former TCU football player Wes Smith was shot and killed Friday.
