The Yankees hit a major league-leading 241 home runs in 2017. With the addition of slugger Giancarlo Stanton, team president Randy Levine figures that number will only go up in 2018. After all, offense does sell the tickets.
“I think [Stanton] has been a huge addition,” Levine told the New York Post at Yankee Stadium before the Pinstripe Bowl on Wednesday night. “He’s the MVP of the National League, he’s a great player and our fan base is excited. We’re doing very well, we’re selling a lot of tickets.
“He’s a great, great player, he’s an exciting player, he seems to be very excited to be here.
