Question: What team does the person who hit the first home run at the new stadium in South Bronx play for?

Posada produced strong offensive numbers for his position, recording a .273 batting average, 275 home runs, and 1,065 runs batted in (RBIs) during his career. Jorge Rafael Posada Villeta (born August 17, 1971) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball catcher who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. A switch hitter, Posada was a five-time All-Star, won five Silver Slugger Awards, and was on the roster for four World Series championship teams. <SEP> other legendary home run hitters include jimmie foxx, mel ott, ted williams, mickey mantle (who on september 10, 1960, mythically hit ``the longest home run ever ''at an estimated distance of 643 feet (196 m), although this was measured after the ball stopped rolling), reggie jackson, harmon killebrew, ernie banks, mike schmidt, dave kingman, sammy sosa (who hit 60 or more home runs in a season 3 times), ken griffey, jr. and eddie mathews. in 1987, joey meyer of the denver zephyrs hit the longest verifiable home run in professional baseball history. the home run was measured at a distance of 582 feet (177 m) and was hit inside denver's mile high stadium. major league baseball's longest verifiable home run distance is about 575 feet (175 m), by babe ruth, to straightaway center field at tiger stadium (then called navin field and before the double - deck), which landed nearly across the intersection of trumbull and cherry. <SEP> starting in the 1970s, the bronx often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. the wave of arson in the south bronx in the 1960s and 1970s inspired the observation that "the bronx is burning": in 1974 it was the title of both a new york times editorial and a bbc documentary film. the line entered the pop-consciousness with game two of the 1977 world series, when a fire broke out near yankee stadium as the team was playing the los angeles dodgers. numerous fires had previously broken out in the bronx prior to this fire. as the fire was captured on live television, announcer howard cosell is wrongly remembered to have said something like, "there it is, ladies and gentlemen: the bronx is burning". historians of new york city frequently point to cosell's remark as an acknowledgement of both the city and the borough's decline. a new feature-length documentary film by edwin pagan called bronx burning is in production in 2006, chronicling what led up to the numerous arson-for-insurance fraud fires of the 1970s in the borough. <SEP> Jorge Posada hit the first Yankee home run in the new ballpark hitting his off Lee in the same game. Before the official Opening Day against the Cleveland Indians on April 16, 2009, the Yankees hosted a two - game exhibition series at the stadium in early April against the Chicago Cubs. Grady Sizemore of the Indians was the first player to hit a grand slam off of Yankee pitcher Dámaso Marte. The Indians and 2008 Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee spoiled the opening of the new stadium by winning 10 -- 2. Before the Yankees went to bat for the first time, the bat that Babe Ruth used to hit his first home run at the old Yankee Stadium in 1923 was placed momentarily on home plate. Russell Branyan, while playing for the Seattle Mariners, was the first player to hit a home run off of the Mohegan Sun Restaurant in center field. <SEP> Like other neighborhoods in New York City, the South Bronx has no official boundaries. The name has been used to represent poverty in the Bronx and applied to progressively more northern places so that by the 2000s Fordham Road was often used as a northern limit. The Bronx River more consistently forms an eastern boundary. The South Bronx has many high-density apartment buildings, low income public housing complexes, and multi-unit homes. The Cross Bronx Expressway bisects it, east to west. The South Bronx has some of the poorest neighborhoods in the country, as well as very high crime areas. The South Bronx is home to the Bronx County Courthouse, Borough Hall, and other government buildings, as well as Yankee Stadium.
