NEW YORK -- It’s still too early for Aaron Boone to break into a celebratory I-told-you-so dance, but the Yankees manager did in fact say a day like this was coming. He has been saying it, even as many doubted the veracity of his claims.
Maybe he does know what he’s talking about, in this particular case, at least.
Two weeks after the Yankee Stadium masses first turned on one of the newest Bronx Bombers, Giancarlo Stanton, they were cheering his name in refrain Friday night. With another shaky performance from part of the Yankees’ pitching staff, Stanton could be forced into making the sound of those supportive chants a regular occurrence.
