Arguably the greatest player in Marlins history, Giancarlo Stanton left Miami after the 2017 season as their all-time leader in numerous categories. That includes his franchise-record 267 home runs. The lone player to win National League MVP and a Home Run Derby for the Fish, the majority of Stanton’s blasts were no-doubters.
His first career bomb came on this day 10 years ago. It was a grand slam in a 7-4 home victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Florida Marlins were riding a three-game losing streak as they arrived at Sun Life Stadium to open a three-game set against the Rays on June 18, 2010.
