HUGE UPSET...Unheralded Gary Sanchez SLAYS Defending Home Run Derby Champion Giancarlo Stanton
Merely just a throw in piece and pawn to be sacrificed to the MIGHTY Giancarlo Stanton...Gary Sanchez did the UNTHINKABLE! He took out Defending Home Run Derby Champion and FAVORITE to win this year in the first round! And ROBBED us of our DREAM Stanton vs Judge match up!
Sanchez with a paltry 13 homers compared to 30 of teammate Aaron Judge it was not even in the realm of possibility he could accomplish this task.
Anything can happen and it is an unpredictable sport. Bravo to the underdog. Let see how far he can take this.
And to add insult to injury the SPONSOR of the Home Run Derby this year T-Mobile SCREWED up the ad promos for the Defending champ...spelling his FREAKING last name wrong. How does this get by editors at T-Mobile and ESPN who publish it? Laughable. Us sports hacks here at Steemit would run circles around these amateurs.
Giancarlo Stanton lost his latin heritage I suppose and is now ITALIAN! Mr. Stantone...
Do I hear the Hall of Fame calling this kid ⚾
He is a catcher no less. No more than 20 home runs in a whole season. Where as every other competitor in this years tournament has more than that half way through. We have no seen a catcher with that kind of power since the last New York hero Mike Pizza Boy Piazza!
