Long Home Runs At New Yankee Stadium
Branyan has also gained recognition for hitting two of the longest home runs at the New Yankee Stadium. The first came in 2009, when he hit a home run off of the restaurant suite in center field. In 2010, he hit a shot into the right field upper deck off of Javier Vazquez. Thus far, he is the only player to accomplish these two feats in official game play.
