This is the Giancarlo Stanton Yankees fans dreamed of
By Braulio Perez
When Giancarlo Stanton is playing this way, New York Yankees fans really feel like they're in heaven. It's been no secret that the superstar slugger has had his fair share of ups and down since arriving to the Bronx, but he's playing like a man on fire right now.
This week, Stanton has been hitting dinger after dinger, with things being even more special since he lit up the Houston Astros. Honestly, if you're a Yankees fan, how great is this to see?

As soon as you hear that kind of pop, you just know the ball is leaving the yard. If the Yankees want to see their dreams of ending their World Series drought, they'll need Stanton to play like a former league MVP. So far, he's living up to the hype in 2021.
