Aug. 4 will be a day to remember for the Lombard family for a couple of reasons.

Eldest son George Jr. — MLB’s No. 20 prospect — made his Major League debut at Yankee Stadium as the Bronx Bombers took on the Cardinals, while younger son Jacob took the field in his first professional game for Single-A Jupiter, against St. Louis’ affiliate.

And not only that, both of them launched massive homers in their second plate appearances of the night.
