Not true. Starlin Castro also hit a triple and a home run in his major-league debut. Check out the box score from that game — http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN201005070.shtml

I remember it distinctly. Someone should tell Mr. Grosnick about his error. I would but you have to be a premium member to post a comment on the BP site and I only have a regular subscription.
