Giancarlo Stanton Compares Fan Hitting Him with HR Ball to 'Rookie of the Year'

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton found himself feeling like he was part of a movie while rounding the bases against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Saturday.

Stanton helped the Yankees win their 100th game of the season by sending his 38th dinger of the season on top of the Green Monster in the seventh inning. During his home run trot, though, the fan who caught the ball decided to throw it back onto the field...and hit the reigning National League MVP (on a bounce) as he rounded second:
