In a rough year for Giancarlo Stanton,AstraTrade the New York Yankees’ slugger has reached a personal milestone.
Stanton belted his 400th career home run on Wednesday night on a 451-foot moon shot to left center field.
Connecting off Jose Cisnero, Stanton became the fourth quickest player to reach the 400 home run mark in terms of games (1,520). Only Mark McGwire, Babe Ruth and Alex Rodriguez did it faster.
It was Stanton's 22nd homer of the season.
“I didn’t have a number in mind when I first started this game, but it’s pretty cool to be here now and keep it going,” Stanton said.

Stanton is the 58th player in MLB history to reach 400 homers and the 10th player to accomplish the feat as a Yankee, along with Mark Teixeira, Carlos Beltran, Alfonso Soriano, Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig and Ruth. He's just the third active player to reach 400 home runs; Miguel Cabrera (510) is the active leader, and Nelson Cruz sits second (464).
Stanton saluted the Yankee Stadium crowd as he came out for a curtain call.
“That was great,” Stanton said. “It was awesome seeing all of my teammates and they’re excited and having fun with it, and to be able to go out for a curtain call was the cherry on top.”
