Giancarlo Stanton Hit a Homerun to the Friggin' Moon Today
By Rob Perez
The Miami Marlins defeated the New York Mets today by a score of 9-5. The Marlins may stink, but, they remain appointment television because of Giancarlo Stanton… an absolutely colossal human being who hits home runs like this (NSFW):
This home run measured 466 feet, the longest official homer at Citi Field ever. Whose record did he surpass? Himself.
On a side note: this wasn’t those upper cut bombs where the ball goes a zillion feet in the air and just keeps going … this was one of those “GET OUT OF THE WAY OR WE ALL DIE” missiles that I honestly don’t know would had ever came back down to Earth if a stupid mezzanine level wasn’t in it’s way.
If you think this was a fluke, or just simply enjoy Stanton home runs: here is Giancarlo, from earlier this season, hitting a ball out of Dodger Stadium. Like, literally out of the entire thing.
