Austin Wells is about to do something that no New York Yankees catcher has ever done in more than 18,000 games played by the franchise. Not Yogi Berra, Thurman Munson, Elston Howard, Bill Dickey, Jorge Posada or any other catcher.

Wells became the first catcher to hit leadoff for the Yankees, who were established in 1913. And he led off the opener with a home run.
