"Prime Time" Deion Sanders, famously a two-sport star, began his Major League Baseball journey with the New York Yankees, playing for the team in 1989 and 1990. He made his MLB debut on May 31, 1989. While his tenure with the Yankees was relatively brief and his overall statistics modest—he hit .234 with 2 home runs in 14 games in 1989, and .158 with 3 home runs in 57 games in 1990—his time in pinstripes was marked by flashes of his incredible athleticism and speed. One of his most notable achievements occurred in 1989 when he hit an MLB home run and scored an NFL touchdown in the same week, the only person ever to do so. Though his baseball career would see more success with other teams, particularly the Atlanta Braves, his stint with the Yankees was an early chapter in the captivating narrative of one of America's most electrifying athletes.
