NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton sent a high fastball screeching toward the left-field wall on a 17-degree angle. It traveled at 111.5 mph and landed in the seats in just 3.8 seconds, an exit so speedy that could force Yankees radio voice John Sterling to alter his home run call to something more efficient.
"It is high? It is far? Is it ... gone?"
Yeah. That's not going to work.
How about this: "Highfargone!"
As that ball rocketed into the Yankee Stadium seats, all the crowd could do was gasp, and then roar, and then remember that this team has gone on this epic spring tear without truly seeing the best from its new marquee star.
