Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton Hit a Grand Slam That Broke the Scoreboard in Left Field at Marlins Park

When the Miami Marlins built their new stadium, they did not take into account that 22-year-old right fielder Giancarlo Stanton is a monster. Tonight, against the Colorado Rockies, Stanton hit a grand slam that left a black hole in the scoreboard behind the seats in left field. No word on whether the money for replacement lights will come out of his next paycheck or the Marlins will just leave the home run contraption running to distract people in the stadium.

Major League Baseball has not made video of the home run available at this point, but an artist’s rendering tells us the home run looked just like this…

My ma urged me to get out of this game. When I was a kid, she pleaded with me. And I meant to, you know what I mean? But she died.

In Philly, Henry Rodriguez tried to blow another save.

If I was Davey Johnson, I would buy a bus ticket to Syracuse & tell Rodriguez “next time you throw a curve or hit the screen on the fly with a fastball, you’re outta here”.
