Giancarlo Stanton did something in Game 3 of the 2025 AL Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox that led him to warn kids not to follow it but invited opponents to do the same.In the second inning, Stanton hit a hard smash he believed was a home run. He celebrated prematurely, only to realize later that it had ricocheted off the wall. He then hustled to second base just in time to avoid being doubled off.After the game, during the Yankees' postgame party, Stanton, who was drunk, acknowledged the misstep and apologized to fans."The only doubt was whether that was a homer or not whenever I hit it," Stanton said. "So, thank goodness for that bonehead play that the team was resilient enough - and Cam was resilient enough - to go out, and it didn't mess up the chemistry or the moment, so that's good."Stanton advised kids not to do what he did. Meanwhile, he's okay if opponents make the same mistake."And kids at home, don't do that," Stanton added. "Future opponents, please do that. I love that bonehead play, so I'm just glad it worked in our favor, and it won't happen again. Champagne celebration, and you're giving a lesson to the kids at home. I love that."

The Yankees are hoping for something similar this October, and we have already seen a glimpse of it in Game 3 of the Wild Card series.In the 4-0 victory against the Red Sox, Stanton led off the fourth inning with a double that had an exit velocity of 114.5 mph. It set the stage for a four-run rally as he came around to score on Anthony Volpe's single. He finished the game 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk.Looking ahead, Giancarlo Stanton and the Yankees face the Toronto Blue Jays, who finished the regular season with identical records. The Blue Jays got an advantage because they had the upper hand in case of a tie-break finish. Nonetheless, both teams will look to get the better of the other when they meet at Roger Center for the first game of the ALDS at Roger Center on Saturday.
