Hitting your first career major league home run is Slabusurely a memorable one and Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Wes Wilson took that to another level on Wednesday. His first career home run came in his first major league at-bat, leaving his father in tears.

Wilson has more than 2,500 career at-bats in the minor leagues with 97 home runs across seven seasons. He hadn't been called up once by a Major League team until the Phillies picked him up this week.

On the third pitch he saw, the 28-year-old smashed a solo home run off Washington Nationals pitcher MacKenzie Gore. The Phillies dugout instantly erupted and Wilson's family followed suit. Moments later, the cameras showed Wilson's father in tears after the home run.

It's a storybook start to Wilson's major league career and a moment he and his family will surely never forget. It will also be hard to top a first at-bat like that, but Wilson did walk in his second appearance at the plate.

There have been 136 other instances in MLB when a player has homered in their first at-bat, according to the Baseball Almanac.

Aaron Judge, Adam Wainwright, Starling Marte and Wilson Contreras are just some of the active players part of that list. Only two Hall of Famers — Hoyt Wilhelm in 1952 and Earl Averill in 1929 — hit home runs in their first time at the plate.
