2017 belongs to Giancarlo Stanton. The star of the Miami Marlins has crushed home run after home run, leaving all of his power hitting rivals helplessly watching as his home run total increases by leaps and bounds. Stanton’s refurbished, closed off batting stance has helped him recover his vintage form and transcend baseball as the sports next megastar. Stanton finished the 2017 season with 59 home runs and his tantalizing performance ranks as one of the great single-season home run seasons, especially in the post-steriod era and was only surpassed by Maris and Ruth given that criteria. Stanton is the odds-on favorite to win the National League MVP.
Stanton wore this jersey for at least 11 games during the 2017 season as this has been photo matched to the May 24th, June 3rd, June 6th, June 7th, June 8th, June 10th, June 24th, July 5th, July 15th, July 29th and August 4th games. Stanton hit four home runs while wearing this jersey the last two dingers came during the Marlins August 4th, 2017 road game against the Atlanta Braves. Although the Marlins lost this game 5-3, Stanton crushed his 34th and 35th home runs of the season to drive in all three Miami runs. These were the 242nd and 243rd home runs of his career, putting the 2017 All-Star closer and closer to the 300 home run plateau. This black road jersey has “MIAMI” sewn across the chest in primarily white and black tackle twill. “STANTON” is sewn across the back shoulders in white and silver tackle twill above an orange, black, and silver tackle twill “27”.
