Is there a more arrogant phrase in the entire sports universe than “true Yankees moment?”
To be fair, though? You sure as heck know it when you witness one.
Welcome to the club, Giancarlo Stanton.
With his booming, walk-off, two-run, ninth-inning homer Wednesday night, the first-year Yankee removed the shackles of his predictably challenging transition from the irrelevant Marlins.
With Stanton’s 453-foot blast to left-center field off Seattle’s Ryan Cook, the Yankees completed a comeback from a five-run deficit, registering a 7-5 victory over the Mariners in thrilling fashion at Yankee Stadium, this ridiculously impressive season reaching yet another level of excellence.
