Manager Aaron Boone, speaking in the aftermath of Stanton’s heroics, encapsulated the sentiment shared by fans and pundits alike.
“Giancarlo (Stanton) is always pretty serious. And I think that’s a moment there where, you know, obviously an inning is building and, you know, you realize when you hit that one, you hit a four ball there. You know, like that’s, you know, a major blow in the game. And when it’s no doubter, you know, G’s going to give you that little bit of emotion after it, like he does on occasion. So it was just fun to watch him get into one as that inning’s building. You could feel that on the bench.” said Aaron Boone during the post-game press conference.
