He wore the crown for so long. The king is dead.Long live the king.
If you want to know the reason he cannot stop smiling, the answer is easy. Stanton’s AB in the 9th against Kimbrell with the bases loaded and no out in Game 4 is now the worst AB in the history of baseball.
Well, just based on the technical merits, I think that Maldonado's AB the other day may have been worse. But because Stanton's occurred in a situation that was so much more important, and because his stature as a Yankee god among men is so great, his AB is the clear winner.
Seriously. Fuck this thread and all it's negative waves.
