Giancarlo Stanton Hit Another Home Run So Damn Far

Giancarlo Stanton came up in the bottom of the third against Braves pitcher Alex Wood, and absolutely walloped a ball to centerfield. MLB’s Twitter account says 479 feet, which, these tape measures seem like an inexact since. Nevertheless, this is the second time in under a week Stanton has hit a home run where, as the announcer says, fans do not expect to get balls.

Also, this was a valiant effort by the fan who snagged this ball barehanded. This degree of pain and difficulty there is the rare circumstance where the adult fan should have no responsibility to give the ball to a nearby kid. (Unlike here.)
