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.

And the prairie flowers lie low:—”

“When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir s’ennuïer.*”
