Giancarlo Stanton crushes another monster home run

If a day goes by in Major League Baseball and Giancarlo Stanton doesn’t hit a monster home run, did it really happen?

Fortunately we don’t have to answer that question very often.

Stanton added another homer to his already impressive collection this season (see here, here, here and here) with a towering two-run shot to left field at Marlins Park off Diamondbacks right-hander Jeremy Hellickson on Tuesday. He now has 12 home runs on the season, with five coming in his last seven games.

On the Stanton Slam Scale, this was a relatively minor tremor at *only* 403 feet, but that says more about the quality of Stanton’s resume than it does about the quality of last night’s blast.

Watch out Nelson Cruz (16 home runs) and Bryce Harper (15 home runs), the Stanton train is picking up steam and coming for you.

And while the situation in Miami with the introduction of GM Dan Jennings as field manager is far from normal, at least for teams other than the Marlins, it isn’t going to stop Stanton from providing us with highlight-reel homers. Which ultimately is all that really matters, right?
