Giancarlo Stanton destroyed a 47 mph eephus pitch for a home run and MLB fans had jokes

Giancarlo Stanton absolutely destroyed this 47 mph pitch.

Giancarlo Stanton has missed a bunch of time this season with an Achilles injury and earlier this week he was pulled from the starting lineup after making a weird looking swing that had Yankees fans worrying about his health.

Well, Stanton was back in the starting lineup on Saturday and he made his presence felt with an absolute shot of a home run in a 10-3 win over the Yankees.

That poor foul pole.

Stanton had this to say after the game:
