Aaron Judge homered for the second time on Sunday, but it was Giancarlo Stanton’s mammoth shot two batters later that had everyone buzzing on social media.
The New York Yankees slugger blasted a towering, 485-foot home run off San Francisco Giants pitcher Ross Stripling that landed over the center field batter’s eye and beyond the camera well that sits atop it.
The home run traveled at a speed of 117.8 mph with a 25-degree launch angle, per Statcast. It was the third farthest hit home run at Yankee Stadium (the other two belonging to Judge in 2017) and it also gave the Yankees a 3-0 lead.

It marked the 31st time Judge and Stanton have homered in the same game since they became teammates in 2018. The Yankees entered Sunday 28-2 in those games.
Stanton was soon trending on Twitter as fans could not believe what they had just seen.
