Cardinals rookie makes MLB history by hitting a home run in each of his first three career plate appearances

St. Louis Cardinals rookie Joshua Báez’s first career game in the big leagues was something out of a movie.

Báez made Major League Baseball history by hitting a home run in each of his first three plate appearances in the Cardinals' game against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The 23-year-old wasted no time in his first-ever at bat, as he blasted the first pitch he saw in his major league career 450 feet to dead center field for a two-run homer to give the Cardinals a 3-0 lead.
