Giancarlo Stanton, once deemed a bust owing to his recurring injuries, has turned the tide this postseason for the New York Yankees. When all the hopes were tied to captain Aaron Judge, Stanton emerged from the ashes to overshadow MVP candidate Judge with his unreal consistency.
For the first time since 2017, Giancarlo Stanton is showing signs of his MVP form that too under the bright lights of postseason. However, irrespective of the postseason success so far, the slugger is hungrier for more. With the World Series ring at stake, Stanton’s eyes are glued to the ultimate challenge which is just a step away.

Giancarlo Stanton delivered another memorable performance for the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians, solidifying his reputation as a clutch postseason performer. Stanton’s three-run blast in the sixth inning extended the Yanks’ lead to 6-2, giving them a crucial edge in their 8-6 victory and a 3-1 series advantage. This pivotal home run also secured Stanton’s place in the franchise history, making him just the second player in the franchise, alongside Reggie Jackson, to hit four or more home runs in multiple postseasons. This home run marked Stanton’s fourth of the 2024 postseason and his third in the ALCS. Across 35 career playoff games, Stanton has now hit 15 home runs.

However, irrespective of the personal milestones, Giancarlo Stanton’s focus remains razor-sharp as the New York Yankees inch closer to the World Series. When asked about how it feels to be on the brink of such a monumental achievement, Stanton’s response reflected the mindset of a seasoned veteran with his eyes firmly on the ultimate prize. “It feels like nothing until we get it done. We’ll enjoy this for now, but we’ve got to get it done tomorrow and on to the next,” he said. Stanton’s comments reflect the attitude of the Yankees’ clubhouse, as they sit one win away from their first World Series appearance since 2009. For Giancarlo, who has dealt with both highs and lows throughout his storied career, the job isn’t complete until the Bronx Bombers have sealed the deal and are celebrating with the ultimate prize, i.e., the championship trophy in hand.
