Giancarlo Stanton’s name means many things. For Yankees fans, it means a power hitter who is seemingly always a part of the conversation around the team (for better or for worse). For opposing pitchers, it’s a name that likely sends a cold chill down their spine.
And, when his last name is spelled backward, it showcases his dislike for the Washington Nationals, as he playfully pointed out in a tweet to Bryce Harper nearly 13 years ago.
We got another reminder of that on Tuesday when Stanton recorded all five of the Yankees’ RBI in their 5-1 win over the Nationals — a performance that was so good the Yankees social media team had to get in on it.
