The New York Yankees are fighting to keep their season alive in Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, as a loss would eliminate them from the 2024 World Series. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton has been nothing short of phenomenal as he has been one of the most feared hitters in the entire lineup full of incredible hitters. However, Giancarlo Stanton did something no other New York Yankees hitter has done in their history. Let’s take a closer look at exactly what feat he did tonight.
Giancarlo Stanton Hits 7th HR
Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York, is often a hitter’s paradise as they have the short porch in right field where hitters like Giancarlo Stanton can flick his wrists and hit the ball the other way into the bleachers. Giancarlo Stanton has been a completely different animal this postseason as his solo home run in the third inning was the seventh of the postseason for him. That is the most in New York Yankees’ postseason history. Giancarlo Stanton is also tied for third place in Yankees’ postseason home runs as below is the current list at the time of writing.
- Bernie Williams: 22 HR
- Derek Jeter: 20 HR
- Mickey Mantle: 18 HR
- Giancarlo Stanton: 18 HR
- Aaron Judge: 16 HR
- Babe Ruth: 15 HR
He has been one of the best hitters in a singular postseason and if the New York Yankees are able to come back and win the World Series, it will be difficult to name someone else the World Series MVP on the roster.
