As the Yankees continue toward the end of a disappointing season, it seems all of a sudden the team is coming to life - a day late and dollar short. But put that aside as Giancarlo Stanton set a milestone record by hitting his 400 home run of his career.
According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, he became the fastest in fewer games.
Here’s Hoch’s post on X (formerly Twitter):
Fastest to 400 homers in terms of games played:
1. Mark McGwire - 1412
2. Babe Ruth - 1475
3. Alex Rodriguez - 1489
4. Giancarlo Stanton - 1520
5. Albert Pujols - 1523
It doesn’t make the Yankees any closer to the playoffs as they sit at 18.0 games out with a 69-69 won/loss record. So, until then see ya at the park.
