Being out of form hits players badly. This brings criticism from fans and sometimes from authorities as well. But this also gives players an opportunity to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes. The Yankee outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, in their last game against the Detroit Tigers, proved this fact as he sealed a place in MLB history in the wake of leading his team to a big victory.

The New York Yankees have been suffering badly this season. Lots of Yankees players have been out of form, including Stanton. He was badly criticized but now he is back with a bang. He made a Home Run record to earn praise from captain Aaron Judge. Let’s dive into the story.

The Bronx Bombers have been going through a bad season with multiple players performing below the mark, including Stanton. He even started receiving ‘Boos’ in the stadium during games. However, just weeks before the end of the season, the designated Yankees hitter turned it all around. Against Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, he hit his 400th Home Run to become the 58th player with 400 Home Runs under his belt.

This 400th Home Run was a game-changing moment for The Yankees that led the team to a 5-1 victory against the Tigers. Giancarlo was getting a lot of negative press before the game but after his memorable performance, things have changed for him. Though some still consider it as a too-late comeback.

With his 400th Home Run, the Yankee slugger not only became one of the 4th fastest people to do it, but he also became the 10th Yankee player to have 400 Home Runs. He was placed among baseball legends like Babe Ruth, Mark Teixeira, and Alex Rodriguez in the 400 Home Run history of the New York Yankees.

Most of his Home Runs were scored before he joined the Yankees though. He had 267 Home Runs at the time he signed with The Bronx Bombers. He has scored the remaining 133 in the last six seasons. Stanton’s feat has made the captain of the team praise him openly on social media.

Teammates support and acknowledge each other’s achievements. So, when a record-making moment happened during Wednesday’s game, of course the captain was excited. Captain Aaron Judge even shared his happiness and his respect for his teammate on his Instagram post, congratulating him on the feat.

Though the Slugger has been receiving mixed reactions from fans, the captain’s praise certainly means a lot. The game was challenging and after the win, Stanton said, “That was great. It was awesome seeing all of my teammates, and they’re excited and having fun with it, and to be able to go out for a curtain call was the cherry on top.” He even saluted the crowd in the stadium to humbly express his gratitude.
