Yankees manager Aaron Boone has previously called Stanton «weird» for his inhuman power. Boone said Stanton’s 447-foot bomb was just another example of that.
«I’ve never seen a ball go up there. And to hit it 118 that high to the drive-through side, you can’t make it up.» Boone said. «That’s as weird as it gets.»
