Giancarlo Stanton Is Out To Destroy Every Baseball In New York
Last night against the Mets, Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton used his last two at-bats of the game to deliver us the gift of two perfectly mashed, picturesque taters.

Giancarlo Stanton Has All The Dingers You Need
How do you like your dingers? Do you like watching the strong man with a bat drive a low hard one that just clears the fence and puts a dang dent in the stadium?

Giancarlo Stanton Is Still Here Killing People With Strong Home Runs<em></em>
“Giancarlo Stanton, what did that baseball do to you?” muses the Marlins’ color commentator.

Giancarlo Stanton Murdered A Baseball

Carlos Gomez Calls Out Columnist For Quoting Him Poorly
On Wednesday, the Houston Chronicle’s Brian T. Smith wrote a column about Astros outfielder Carlos Gomez’s slow start to the season.

Giancarlo Stanton Dinger Sends Clayton Kershaw To His Knees
Clayton Kershaw made Giancarlo Stanton swing and miss with a nasty little curve in the fourth inning to get his seventh strikeout of the evening. Two innings later, Stanton faced Kershaw again and smacked a fastball to the moon so hard that the Dodgers ace fell to his knees on the mound....

Carlos Correa Slapped A Massive Donger

Giancarlo Stanton Sent This Justin Verlander Pitch To Goddamn Mars
