Russell Branyan First Player To Hit Homer To Fourth Deck At Yankee Stadium

Russell Branyan knows all about hitting home runs that baseball fans will be discussing for years.

So, as hard as he tried to downplay his epic, fourth-deck shot at the new Yankee Stadium on Saturday, he finally had to admit that it's fun to see such blasts and talk about them. Unfortunately for the Mariners, there wasn't much else to talk about beyond the early cannon blast from Branyan and two rare homers by Ichiro after a 9-5 defeat to the New York Yankees.
