Early Pinch

[TreAnt985]

Who hit the only home run ever by a pinch-hitter in the first inning of a game? When did he do this?

[Craig S.]

Carl Furillo of the Dodgers on May 24, 1947 against the Phillies.

He hit it off Oscar Judd, who was brought in after Al Jurisch faced the first 2 batters.

That's correct. I didn't think this one would be so easy to get... ;)
