Despite getting eliminated by Gary Sanchez in the first round, Giancarlo Stanton provided the first mesmerizing moment of the Home Run Derby, putting a baseball off of the outfield windows, 496 feet away. It would have left the park, had the outfield wall been opened Monday evening.
In front of his hometown crowd, the Miami Marlins slugger fell just one homer short of the New York Yankees catcher.
Maybe we can make homers that would leave the park worth two?
