When Giancarlo Stanton hit the injured list on June 22, the New York Yankees were 51-18 and leading the American League East. But they slumped badly, posting second-worst record in the MLB (10-18) after he went down.
Stanton returned to the Yankees lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday and despite going hitless, did manage to avoid striking out in New York’s 14-4 win. Before getting hurt, Stanton was having a bit of a resurgence at the plate, posting what would be his lowest strikeout rate since 2021 (28.6%) and highest walk rate since 2022 en route to 18 home runs and 45 RBIs in 69 games. If the Yankees are going to return to the World Series for the first time since 2009, they’re going to need Stanton to be part of the run.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Stanton is one of the most productive hitters of his generation, with 420 career home runs and 1,076 RBI. Can you name all of the active MLB players to record multiple 100-RBI seasons?
Good luck!
