Dave "King Kong" Kingman of the New York Mets is widely credited with hitting the first broken bat home run in Major League Baseball. He achieved this feat during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 14, 1986. The bat shattered upon making contact with the ball, but Kingman's powerful swing still carried it over the outfield wall for a home run.
