I don't care how far he can hit a ball, I'm still calling him Mike.Mike Stanton said Wednesday in Marlins' camp that he prefers to be called Giancarlo Stanton.
An awesome name for an awesome talent. Stanton's dad calls him Mike and many of his relatives call him "Mikey," but his real first name is actually Giancarlo. The Marlins have identified him as such above his locker for the first time, but they'd probably call him whatever he wants as long as he keeps hitting those mammoth home runs.
