The last Yankee to hit HRs in his first two games was ...

... the immortal Joe Lefebvre.

As for the next big thing, Mike Conforto is back down in the minors while Travis d'OntThrow tries to pick up the Next Big Thing slack left by Josh Thole ... and those two represent just one position on one team.

I mean, who knows? All great players and HOFers started off as young phenoms.

But when you say something like this:

"Austin, who sat out Monday's game after 3-for-8 in his first two, looks like he might be a nice player for the future, too, but Judge has the potential to be a star, maybe a guy who will bash 40-to-45 homers season after season in his prime."

You are caught up in the hype.
