At least for the moment, we have forgotten how horrible the Yankees season has been.
Last night was fun. It was fun for a change as the Yankees won, but more than that, the Martian, Jasson Dominguez showed us all why he was called up. Yes, part of the reason was that the Yankees have sucked and he was replacing Harrison Bader who was claimed off waivers by the Reds, but the other reason was because of his raw power. The Yankees won 6-2 and Yankee Twitter went crazy.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW, JASSON DOMÍNGUEZ‼️

Wild!
And ESPN writes:
"At 20 years, 206 days old, Domínguez became the youngest Yankees player to homer in his first career game. He was the first Yankees player to go deep in his initial big league at-bat since Aaron Judge on Aug. 13, 2016.Additionally, it was just the second time a player homered off a reigning Cy Young Award winner in his first at-bat, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The other was Marcus Thames -- also for the Yankees -- on June 10, 2002, off Randy Johnson."
That's a lot of information but this is the next Yankee generation, folks. Let's hope he doesn't disappear like Kevin Maas when all the teams figured out that he couldn't hit anything but a fastball.
Congrats the Jasson. Congrats to the Yankees. Now just keep it going so we can salvage this season!
