CNN —Rookie Ben Rice had a day to remember as he hit three home runs in the New York Yankees’ huge 14-4 win against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
Per the Elias Sports Bureau, Rice is the first ever rookie to hit three home runs in a single game for the Yankees.
“It’s definitely a day I’ll never forget,” Rice said postgame, per MLB.
“He hit three in a day – something he’ll never forget and people over here probably watching will never forget,” Boone added.
After his third home run of the day, Rice was shown the way by his more experienced teammates who ushered him out of the dugout to address the cheering fans at Yankee Stadium.
