BOSTON — Giancarlo Stanton has been plunked plenty of times. But by his own home run ball?
The Yankees star homered over the Green Monster on Saturday, connecting in the seventh inning of the Yankees’s 8-5 win over the Red Sox. Stanton then got quite a surprise from a strong-armed fan while rounding second base at Fenway Park.
A man wearing a black T-shirt heaved the souvenir from his first-row seat on top of the left-field wall, and the ball took a hop and bounced off Stanton.
