Remember when Nuke LaLoosh told Crash Davis* he wanted to announce his presence with authority?
Giancarlo Stanton just did that. Big time. And if there was a bull in the outfield bleachers, you can bet Big G would have won a free steak.

Punishing the ball and the ballpark from start to finish, Stanton clubbed a record 61 HR en route to the victory. It was a victory that was a long time coming to, as projections upon his promotion to the majors had the award being renamed after him at this point.
