Giancarlo Stanton’s Florida/Miami Marlins home run record will likely last for some time. Stanton set the mark in 2015.
The man he replaced atop the Marlins’ all-time home run list set broke the club record on this day a decade ago. “His name is Dan Uggla.”
Uggla entered the July 31, 2010 contest between the Florida Marlins and San Diego Padres at Petco Park with 143 home runs as a member of the Marlins. That was tied with Mike Lowell for the most in club history. By the time the night was over, Uggla stood alone in that category in a 6-3 victory for Florida.
