Over 1,300 feet of home runs with three mammoth Yankees blasts

In case there was any concern Giancarlo Stanton might have sacrificed some of his power by getting lighter over the offseason, ask the cars driving by on Dale Mabry Highway on Wednesday night.

They were all at risk when Stanton came to the plate for his first three at-bats against the Pirates at Steinbrenner Field, which resulted in 1,334 feet worth of home runs, a ticker-tape distance that somehow still felt light given the damage he inflicted on the baseballs.

Stanton made Pirates left-hander Marco Gonzales look like his batting practice pitcher for a Home Run Derby, clobbering the three home runs on a trio of low pitches right in his wheelhouse.
