After hitting a three-run homer in the 6-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, Stanton celebrated this significant achievement.\n\nStanton hit his 450th home run in his 1,719th game. Only legends like Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez, and Harmon Killebrew reached this figure faster.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s a nice, round number. It&#8217;s great to see the names I&#8217;m reaching and surpassing.<\/p><cite>Giancarlo Stanton<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nYankees manager Aaron Boone praised Stanton&#8217;s career, calling it Hall of Fame worthy.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He&#8217;s still on a Hall of Fame-worthy run. It&#8217;s a big number, 450, and it came with a three-run homer in the first inning. I feel like he has a lot, a lot more to do.<\/p><cite>Aaron Boone<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nStanton&#8217;s hit, against pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, propelled the Yankees to a crucial victory, placing them just two games behind the leaders of the American League East Division, the Toronto Blue Jays, with seven games remaining in the regular season.\n\nStanton, who didn&#8217;t start the season until July 2 due to elbow injuries, has hit 21 home runs since his return.\n\nWhen asked about Stanton&#8217;s qualities as a hitter, Boone replied: &#8220;The man is dangerous. A unicorn. It&#8217;s very unique how he does it, very unique how he hits the ball so hard on a routine basis. Just a really great day for him and for us as his teammates.&#8221;\n\nStanton, for his part, remains focused on the future, although he acknowledges the possibility of reaching 500 home runs.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I&#8217;m many swings away from 500. Of course, you think about that, and you understand that if you put in the effort, I&#8217;m capable of doing it.<\/p><cite>Giancarlo Stanton<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nRegarding Boone&#8217;s words about the Hall of Fame, Stanton commented: &#8220;It&#8217;s great to hear it. I&#8217;m still going. That&#8217;s for you guys to debate. I just come every day and do what I can.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giancarlo Stanton Reaches 450 Home Runs: A Historic Milestone New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton has reached an impressive career milestone: 450 home runs!
