Dean Anna's introduction to professional baseball was nothing less than hectic.
But he'll take it.
Anna, who didn't arrive in town until two hours before the first pitch, hit a home run in his first professional at-bat on a sunny Sunday afternoon at Civic Stadium.
"It's perfect, just great," Anna said before pausing to evaluate his afternoon.
"It was just a really good feeling. I finally played my first professional game."
Anna had three of the Emeralds' four hits - and both RBIs - as Eugene lost its home opener to Spokane, 5-2, in front of 5,366 in attendance.
