New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is featured in the team's "Birthday of the Day" series, highlighting a memorable moment from the 2024 World Series. On October 30, 2024, Stanton hit a solo home run in the third inning of Game 5 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Yankee Stadium.
The home run came during the Yankees' matchup with the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. Stanton, wearing number 27, connected for the solo shot as New York faced Los Angeles in the best-of-seven series. The moment was captured by photographer Mary DeCicco for MLB Photos via Getty Images.
Stanton has been a key power hitter for the Yankees since joining the club via trade from the Miami Marlins. The birthday feature revisits his postseason contribution during the 2024 championship series.
