"It's an honor," Story said. "I can't really understand it. It's just kind of surreal that this has happened.
"That's not the goal, to hit home runs. It's just trying to hit the ball hard."
Folks have been trying to hit balls hard for 147 years, since the Cincinnati Red Stockings became the first to organize as a pro baseball team. But no one had homered twice while making his Major League debut in a season opener until Story did it -- off D-backs free-agent prize Zack Greinke, no less.
When he went deep again Tuesday, off highly-regarded offseason acquisition Shelby Miller, Story became the second player in history to follow a two-homer debut with a homer the next game.
