Giancarlo Stanton made his public New York debut as a Yankee on Sunday night, and the reigning NL MVP said he was prepared for what’s ahead of him.
“I’m excited to be here in New York and experience the big city, bright lights,” Stanton said after he accepted his MVP award during the New York chapter of the BBWAA dinner at the Sheraton in midtown. “It’s gonna be a lot of fun for me.”
Stanton sat alongside his new teammate, Aaron Judge, who won AL Rookie of the Year, while CC Sabathia, general manager Brian Cashman and new manager Aaron Boone also were on hand.
