Giancarlo Stanton has drawn plenty of comparisons to Alex Rodriguez throughout his career — and now he has one he’d probably prefer not to have: a miserable debut in the postseason.
Stanton’s first foray into the playoffs didn’t go as he had hoped, and he wound up hearing a familiar sound in The Bronx in a season-ending, 4-3 Game 4 loss to the Red Sox in the ALDS.
The Yankees DH came up as the tying run in the bottom of the ninth and struck out against Boston closer Craig Kimbrel and was booed loudly following the at-bat.
