Giancarlo Stanton

Giancarlo Stanton homered in his Dodger Stadium homecoming, Byron Buxton followed with another drive and the American League won its ninth straight All-Star ...

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman batted in the third to the now familiar chants of “Freddie! Freddie!” Even in the exhibition game, an extreme shift was on and he was thrown out from right field. Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers for 67 years before retiring in 2016, watched the game from his Los Angeles home. The reviews were mostly negative for the second straight year on the All-Star uniforms. Jackie Robinson’s achievement was honored with on-field comments by Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington and a presentation on the video boards. I was trying to delay the game for a bit, but it worked out.” Backed by a mariachi band, Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela tossed out the ceremonial first pitch. “It kind of calmed everything down for me and then I had a lot of fun.” The NL wasted no time in taking its first 2-0 lead in 10 years. Kershaw fired a pickoff throw to first that caught Ohtani off the bag. “I mean, you can’t throw the first pitch of an All-Star Game as a breaking ball,” Kershaw said. Sometimes I throw over there for a second to be convicted with the pitch,” Kershaw said. Austin Riley’s single in the eighth was the NL’s only hit after the first inning.

Stanton and Buxton hit back-to-back home runs in the fourth to vault the AL past the NL, which hasn't won an All-Star Game since 2012.

“I tried to take a minute at the beginning to take it all in and look around, which I never do,” Kershaw said. But overall, this place is just super special for me, and to get to do this here more than anything is why it was so special to me.” Alcantara was dominant, striking out two in his inning, backing up Kershaw’s assertion that “Sandy had an incredible first half and he deserves it.” That would have put Kershaw in line for the win, but back-to-back fourth-inning homers from Giancarlo Stanton, who was named the MVP, and Byron Buxton ensured the AL’s streak would live on. With that, a decidedly made-for-TV All-Star Game commenced, and Kershaw’s ethos for the evening – Why the heck not? For his part, Kershaw paused to sniff them.

The AL totaled eight hits, but never really threatened to put more runs on the board outside of the fireworks in the fourth inning. The NL took a 2-0 lead in the first inning but failed to record another hit until the eighth inning. Stanton, a Los Angeles native, was given the nod in his hometown. New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton was named MVP after going 1-for-2 with a two-run homer that tied the game in the fourth inning. For Stanton, Tuesday's performance continued a strong 2022 season. The Yankees have the best record in the majors at 64-28 with a 13-game lead in the AL East. With the second half of the season on the horizon, New York has its eyes set on the postseason as it hopes to make it back to the World Series since its last championship win in 2009.

Stanton became the third Yankees player to win All-Star MVP, joining Derek Jeter in 2000 and Mariano Rivera in 2013.

Stanton’s career with the Yankees has had its ups and downs, which includes missing a good portion of the 2019 and 2020 seasons due to injury. The moment was made even greater for Stanton because of his status as a hometown hero. “Look at us, it’s just incredible.”

Giancarlo Stanton took home All-Star MVP honors after his 457-foot blast powered the American League to its ninth straight victory in the All-Star Game.

He entered the game in the fifth inning and grounded out to shortstop. "I tried to take a minute at the beginning to take it all in and look around, which I usually never do," Kershaw said. "I just kind of lobbed it over there," Kershaw said. "And I think the moment itself, being here at Dodger Stadium, a place where I've been now for 15 years, to get to do something like this with the best in the world, is really fun. He allowed a leadoff single to Shohei Ohtani, before picking him off at first base to a roar from the crowd on his way to a scoreless inning. But, yeah, you kind of had to give him a heater there, I think just for everything. "He hits balls to me, it's so hard to react," Cortes said. "I would sit in left field and try to scalp tickets, whatever we could afford," he said. "You can't throw the first pitch of an All-Star Game as a breaking ball," Kershaw said. "That's probably one of the hardest balls I've seen hit from the on-deck circle," he said. Stanton's game-tying two-run shot was a 457-foot blast to left-center -- longer than any home run hit at Dodger Stadium in the first half of the season. The game turned in the fourth inning when Giancarlo Stanton and Byron Buxton delivered back-to-back home runs off the Los Angeles Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin. Neither was cheated with his swing.

Giancarlo Stanton was the brightest star on MLB's flashiest night of the season. The All-Star Game MVP was one fate had destined for him.

To sit out there in left field and to be playing left field and hit one out there is incredible to me.” Now he’s the one doing the throwing – and hitting – into the stands. Giancarlo Stanton was the brightest star on MLB’s flashiest night of the season.

LOS ANGELES ― New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who grew up attending games at Dodger Stadium and starring for Notre Dame High School in Sherman ...

“You look at the stat sheet and the year that he’s having. “You just look at the numbers,” National League manager Brian Snitker said. Stanton was voted to start the All-Star Game after slugging 24 home runs and driving in 61 for the Yankees in the first half. Just to be out there is so fun, so cool.” In his first at-bat, Stanton struck out on three pitches against Miami Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara to begin the second inning. “It’s hard to put into words that this is reality right now.

Back in his hometown of Los Angeles, Giancarlo Stanton blasted a home run for the American League at the 2022 MLB All-Star Game.

"It's going to be an amazing memory for all of my life.'' And as he trotted off the field after the third inning, Stanton added that he’d see about getting a hit in his next at-bat. Mic'd up in left field, Giancarlo Stanton told a national TV audience tuned to the All-Star Game about attending games at Dodger Stadium in his youth.

It was a homecoming at Dodger Stadium for Giancarlo Stanton. The Yankees slugger, and Los Angeles native, hopes his team can return to Chavez Ravine in ...

“I just regret that we have to play him in a doubleheader on Thursday.” They have beaten the Yankees in three of five games this season, and are set to face them again right after the All-Star break. Many great teams have been felled by the randomness of the postseason, and before the Yankees can contemplate a return trip here, they may have to get past a much more familiar rival. “I’m glad he got to pitch and I’m glad he did a great job. “We were coming out of there with some gas in the bullpen, and they were coming out of there with some gas. Kershaw — with Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander — has been the best of his generation, and two years ago he won his first championship ring. (Both cited minor injuries for not attending.) Even Orbit, the green prankster who scampers around the Astros’ ballpark, stayed home; every other team with a mascot sent its character to the All-Star Game. You figured that the game was going to come down to the home runs, as big a showmen as these guys are.” He is having another sterling season, though he missed a month with an injury and was a bit sheepish about getting the start. “It’s one of those things you couldn’t be happier for him, just being able to do what he did.” The next best belongs to the Dodgers, at 60-30. At 64-28, the Yankees have the majors’ best record.

El outfielder de los New York Yankees fue el encargado de empatar el Juego de Estrellas con un home run de dos carreras.

Recordemos que él es originario de Panorama, California y creció asistiendo como espectador a la casa de Los Angeles Dodgers. Stanton conectó un splitter a 83 MPH del relevista Tony Gonsolin, que salió a una velocidad de 111.7 MPH y cayó a 457 ft de distancia, significando el batazo más duro en un Juego de Estrellas desde que se instauró Statcast en 2015. Fue en la parte del tercer inning cuando el integrante de los Bombarderos del Bronx dio el batazo que le otorgaría dicha denominación: un cuadrangular de dos carreras por todo el jardín izquierdo del Dodger Stadium que empató el encuentro y a la postre fue clave para la victoria tras un back-to-back con Byron Buxton.

Muy especial”, dijo Stanton, quien estuvo acompañado de familiares y amigos a lo largo de las festividades. Stanton es el primero que lo ha soñado. ¡Absolutamente! En papel se ha esperado desde hace algunos años ya.

En la temporada 2022 el jugador de 32 años tiene promedio de .237, 24 jonrones, 61 impulsadas y OPS de .835 en 76 encuentros disputados con el conjunto dirigido por Aaron Boone, equipo que ha dominado la campaña 2022 de las Grandes Ligas y que es uno de los principales favoritos al título. A pesar de los rumores que apuntaban a que Giancarlo Stanton estaría en el Home Run Derby 2022 finalmente el estelar toletero decidió no participar en el evento, pero afortunadamente para todos los presentes en el Dodgers Stadium igual les regaló su acostumbrada dosis de poder con uno de sus patentados batazos monumentales. La estrella del conjunto del Bronx sacudió un imponente jonrón ante uno de los lanzamientos del pitcher de los Dodgers de Los Angeles Tony Gonsolin para empatar el compromiso a dos carreras en la cuarta entrada, batazo que le terminó dando el reconocimiento del Jugador más Valioso.

Giancarlo Stanton's homer earned him the All-Star Game MVP honors on Tuesday at the ballpark he grew up watching Dodgers games as a kid.

“But it’s the same as when I first signed and first got called up. Stanton hit .237 with an .835 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, 24 homers and 61 RBIs in the first half and teamed with slugger Aaron Judge (33 homers, 70 RBIs) to lead the Yankees to a major league-best 64-28 record. “It’s amazing for me, my family, and I’m proud of everything we’ve done.” “He took me to my first Dodgers game and showed me how to have love for this game,” Stanton said. “To be playing left field tonight and hitting one out there means everything to me. “Growing up, I’d always sit in left field and try to get players to throw me a ball,” Stanton said.

Stanton, who grew up near Dodger Stadium, hit a home run in nearly the same row in the left-field pavilion that he watched games with his father.

This is a guy who was a superstar in Miami, signing a 13-year, $325 million with the Marlins, only for the Marlins to go belly-up. Gonsolin came back with a splitter, and Stanton hit it to Pasadena, 457 feet away, leaving the crowd gasping for breath. “What they’re doing, they’re the biggest team in baseball. He’s obviously a very talented player, but for him to have a moment like that here, it’s as good as it gets. “When the lights are brightest,’’ Stanton said, “that's what you want to do. I’d just try to drive down here, get a ticket off the street, and come try to see what they can do in two at-bats. It looked like it was going to happen all over again when he swung and missed at a slider. The place was rocking when Betts drove in the game’s first run, and Paul Goldschmidt later homered in the first inning, giving the National League a 2-0 victory. …I have some goals in terms of winning a championship, and going all the way, but personally for the road I've gone to get to, where I am now, this is very special.’’ The crowd still was buzzing when four pitches later, Minnesota center fielder Byron Buxton hit a homer that traveled 425 feet. It started when Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez led off with a line drive to center, and one out later, Stanton stepped to the plate. “It's hard to put into words that this is reality right now.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton delivered in his hometown park on a night he said was one of the highlights of his career, Rowan Kavner writes.

A proud LSU alumnus, he credits his time as a sportswriter and editor at The Daily Reveille for preparing him for a career covering the NFL, NBA and MLB. Prior to joining FOX, he worked as the Dodgers’ editor of digital and print publications. "Absolutely." On the flight to Los Angeles, Stanton told Judge he was "going to get one" back at his home ballpark. The backdrop of Stanton’s MVP performance added a bonus. You couldn’t be any happier for him just being able to do what he did, hit a two-run homer to tie the game where he used to be a kid and watch the game." The powerful Yankees duo had their own home run derby during batting practice before the All-Star Game. Stanton and Aaron Judge became the first Yankees outfield duo to start an All-Star Game since Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson in 1988. It’s definitely nice to have in our lineup, especially when he gets going." The latest home run came as no surprise to Stanton’s Yankees teammates, who watched him mash 24 in the season’s first half. One of them, on May 12, 2015, rocketed 475 feet to left field and completely out of the stadium. Genovese came to the batting cage and brought Stanton out to workouts. He tried to catch games when Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds came to town, even if it was only for an at-bat or two.

“He came to watch me hit in the cage and he brought me out to the workouts and he said he was trying to convince them, but it didn’t work out. Stanton daydreamed about playing for the Dodgers when he was a child and he was still hoping for that when he grew into a 6-foot-6, three-sport star at Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks. He could have played college football at Southern Cal when the Trojans were a national power. Before he agreed to a Yankees trade, the Dodgers passed again on making an offer. Stanton started winning over Yankees fans during the 2020 postseason when he had a run for the ages, six homers and 13 RBI in seven games. “He was he was built for New York,” Judge said. “When the lights are brightest, that’s want you want to do,” Stanton said. He was hurt for most of the next two seasons, playing in just 41 of the Yankees’ 222 games, which led to nonstop griping from fans about his $325 million contract running through 2027. “But it was really the big boppers when they would come into town,” Stanton said. Stanton chased the first pitch, an 87-mph slider that he went for and got all air. On the mound was Tony Gonsolin, a Dodgers pitcher he’d never faced, a 6-foot-3 righty who has an 11-0 record and 2.02 ERA in 17 starts. What Stanton enjoyed most was watching the stars. Stanton liked it out there because he could yell at players to throw him up a ball during batting practice.
