Yankees fans have been wondering what the hold-up has been with Giancarlo Stanton. Why hasn’t he consistently done in pinstripes what he did last season for the Marlins — which resulted in a Most Valuable Player Award?
After waiting another three hours through a rain delay on Sunday, that thing they were yearning for seemed to arrive.
In the Yankees’ 6-2 win over the Oakland Athletics, Stanton gave them that glimpse, as well as a glimmer of hope that despite his slow start, he might still be able to put up the kind of numbers in the Bronx that he had in South Beach.
