Giancarlo Stanton’s 53rd home run of his masterful season came with a price.
To Fox Sports, anyway.
Stanton’s blast on Monday night took out one of the stationary cameras positioned at Marlins Park — at least temporarily.
The camera stationed just along the pole in right field was struck by Stanton’s fifth inning solo shot against the Washington Nationals and temporarily knocked the camera out of commission.
According to a report by Fox’s Craig Minervini during the game, a new lens had to be brought in to replace the damaged one — estimated cost: $50,000 — from the Stanton homer as the ball dented the large metal casing and messed up some of the internal electronics.
