Good morning, buddies!  Davey Mac here with a fresh Sports Report for ya this morning!  We’ve got basketball news…football back tomorrow…tennis update…and a fun story with Eli and Peyton Manning!  But first…

…Did you see the Yankees’ game last night?  If not…you missed Giancarlo Stanton hitting his 400th career home run in what was a pretty special moment.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 5: Giancarlo Stanton #27 of the New York Yankees hits a two-run home run against the Detroit Tigers during the sixth inning of a game at Yankee Stadium on September 5, 2023 in New York City. It was Stanton’s 400th career home run. (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)

Stanton’s home run actually broke the tie and put the Yankees ahead…so it was clutch in addition to being historic.  Check out the clip below.

Another cool thing that happened was that Yankee rookie Anthony Volpe called a timeout so that Stanton could be honored with a curtain call by the fans.  Classy move by Volpe! And the Yankee fans delivered!

The Yankees social media congratulated Stanton as well.  It’s a huge milestone to get to. In fact, Stanton becomes the fourth youngest player ever to get to 400 career homers…only behind Mark McGwire, Babe Ruth, and Alex Rodriguez. Amazing!

So a big congratulations to Giancarlo Stanton.  The only question is: is he a Hall Of Famer yet?  Or does he have to get to 500 home runs (or more)?  He’s been an MVP with the Marlins and a pretty clutch player for the Yankees.  Yes, he’s been injury-plagued.  But, when healthy Stanton usually delivers.  In any event, congrats Big G! You’re the man!

  Lastly…Peyton Manning and Eli Manning announced that they will bring in a third host for the highly successful ManningCast on Monday Night Football on ESPN. I wonder who it will be…Cooper? Archie? Or a NON-Manning?!  Yikes!

  You could say the auditions for a third ManningCast host did not go as expected. pic.twitter.com/dDfdblWpVm
