The first home run in the rebuilt Yankee Stadium, which opened in 1976, was hit by the New York Yankees' outfielder, Lou Piniella. He achieved this milestone on April 15, 1976, during a game against the Minnesota Twins. The new stadium, often referred to as the "House That Ruth Built," was an iconic renovation of the original Yankee Stadium that had opened in 1923. Piniella's home run marked a significant moment in the history of the Yankees and their storied venue.
