1981
In his first ML game‚ Kent Hrbek homers in the 12th inning to give the Twins a 3-2 win over the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The 21-year-old 1B grew up in Bloomington‚ MN‚ less than a mile from Metropolitan Stadium‚ and jumped directly to his hometown club from Class-A Visalia (California League)‚ where he was hitting .380 with 27 HRs and 112 RBI.

A pretty good start to a pretty good career.
