MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Home run hitting is perhaps the most exciting part of baseball, but there is a lot more to the game than just crushing dingers.
The Miami Marlins currently feature the hottest power hitter in the majors but the team is also in the middle of a push for one of the National League’s coveted playoff spots.
While it’s both fun and amazing to see someone hitting baseballs the way that Giancarlo Stanton is, the Marlins’ slugger has only one goal in mind.
Winning.
During his home run binge, Stanton has had no problem simply trying to collect singles as well.
