On May 12, 2015, Giancarlo Stanton hit a remarkable 475-foot home run out of Dodger Stadium, making him one of only four players to do so. This achievement was highlighted during a game where the Miami Marlins lost 11-1 to the Dodgers. Despite the loss, Stanton's home run was a significant moment, especially since he grew up nearby. Although he expressed a desire to join the Dodgers in trade talks after the 2017 season, he was ultimately traded to the Yankees, indicating his stature as a leading home-run hitter.
"Stantonâs blast traveled an estimated 475 feet and was so impressive that left fielder Scott Van Slyke didnât turn around to look at it."
"That home run had to have been extra special for Stanton considering he grew up just a few minutes from Dodger Stadium in Sherman Oaks."
