Giancarlo Stanton is entering his third season in the Bronx. As much as New York Yankees fans can fall head over heels for players like Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge, the fan base can display equal frustration and vitriol to players wearing the very same uniform.
For many fans, resentment following three painful postseason exits has somehow fallen on the shoulders of one man, Giancarlo Stanton.
Go ahead, scroll through social media and see fans clamoring on and on about Stanton’s health, hefty price tag, and his approach at the plate.
Maybe it’s just a vocal minority or it could be that he has already earned the prestigious honor as the next player that Yankees fans will unjustly dislike.
