As a Yankee fan, you surely know that the legacy of Yankee players is often determined by their successes or failures in the postseason. Whether that’s fair or not is a different discussion but it’s no secret to Yankee players that its the situation they’re in when they sign on to play for the franchise with 27 World Series titles.
It’s also no secret that Giancarlo Stanton, despite being the target of much fan vitriol over his four seasons in the Bronx, has put on jaw-dropping displays in postseason play since becoming a Yankee. In fact, it makes one wonder (well, it made me wonder) how the white-hot start to his postseason career compares to Yankee legends and how they performed as soon as the bright postseason lights shone upon them.
