Giancarlo Stanton's incredible power display in his New York Yankee debut Thursday matched the hype and expectations of a great modern day Ruth & Gehrig-like slugging partnership with Rookie-of-the-Year sensation Aaron Judge.
Stanton belted two home runs — including a two-run dinger in his first at-bat in pinstripes — and drove in a run with a double in the Yankees' 6-1 season-opening victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
What will that mean for the Yankees who now have two 50 home run season players for the first time since another power duo, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in 1961?
