986. That’s how many games Giancarlo Stanton played during his eight years in Miami.
No, he wasn’t Dwyane Wade or Dan Marino, but when you look back at those 986 games he played in Miami, you realize he deserves to be in that category: one of the best athletes to ever put a jersey on in this city.
The last memory he gave us was among the most extraordinary individual seasons in Miami sports history. He hit a career-high 59 home runs and won National League MVP.
The 8 seasons Giancarlo Stanton spent here were nothing short of incredible: an MVP, four-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger.
