Putting Giancarlo Stanton’s 400th home run in Yankees historical perspective

The Baby Bombers made their Bronx debut against the Tigers on Tuesday, but it was Yankees veteran slugger Giancarlo Stanton who played the hero.

The former MVP broke a 1-1 tie when he launched a Jose Cisnero slider 451 feet into the left field bleachers. It was the 400th home run of his career.

After the game, NJ.com’s Max Goodman noted that Stanton is now the tenth player to hit home run No. 400 in a Yankees uniform. He now joins truly elite company, which includes Yankees legends Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth.
