Giancarlo Stanton hits home run in first at-bat with Yankees

TORONTO -- It didn't take long for Giancarlo Stanton to make an impact with the New York Yankees, as the slugger uncorked a long home run to right field in his first at-bat of the season Thursday afternoon.

It was a sight that Yankees fans had eagerly been hoping to see since the team traded for him in December.

The home run measured at 426 feet by Statcast, and it came on an 0-1 pitch from Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ in the top of the first inning.
