The most unbreakable records in MLB history: Lead off homers

Now we know that most of the records on this list seem to have taken place in the stone ages. But, we have one that took place extremely recently.

During a game this season between two teams that unsurprisingly won’t be making a playoff appearance, let alone a World Series run, both the New York Mets and Miami Marlins made a bit of history.

Starting in his customary lead-off role, Miguel Rojas stepped up to the plate in the first inning for the Marlins. Pitcher Carlos Carrasco took a long look at his man and let his first pitch rip. Rojas liked what he saw and cranked one out of the park. Not to be outdone, Jonathan Villar kicked things off for the Mets in the bottom of the inning. While pitcher Sandy Alcantara attempted to get his man to swing at a bad pitch, Villar’s swing actually resulted in an instant home run.

It was the first time in MLB history that both teams hit a leadoff home run on the first pitch. Could a pair of leadoff hitters eventually duplicate that feat? Considering that both were able to hit homers on the very first pitch, we have our doubts.
