Thanks to the magic of interleague play, the Yankees are in Miami this week for a two-game series with the Marlins. It’s a 2003 World Series rematch! But I don’t like talking about that. Instead, I look at this week as Giancarlo Stanton’s homecoming. The Yankees poached Stanton from the budget conscious Marlins over the winter and now he’s back in Miami with a chance to hit his 300th career home run in front of his former hometown fans.
“It’s been a big part of my life, my time down there. It’ll be a cool experience going back,” said Stanton over the weekend.
