Giancarlo Stanton reached a pretty significant milestone yesterday. For just the third time in his career, he crossed the 100-RBI threshold. He did so in style, too, by blasting his 38th home run of the season into the seats at Fenway Park. He even got the ball, too, because the fan who caught it hurled it right back at Stanton. That was a pretty solid afternoon for the Yankees designated hitter.
Somehow, Stanton’s season has been underappreciated. He had lofty expectations, but that doesn’t mean his .266/.343/.509 batting line or 127 wRC+ are bad.
