Who are Giancarlo Stanton's parents? A glimpse into the personal life of Yankees star

Giancarlo Stanton is a highly regarded baseball player for the New York Yankees. He is the son of Mike Stanton and Jacinta Garay.

Both Mike and Jacinta worked in the postal services. However, they divorced each other when Giancarlo was eight years old.

Jacinta Garay is African-American and Puerto Rican in descent. She is proud of her Latino roots and wanted her son to maintain that. Growing up, she had a poster of the famous baseball player Roberto Clemente in her room. Giancarlo often pays tribute to her on her birthday and Mother's Day.

Giancarlo's father Mike played baseball in high school. The Yankees star has previously talked about his father helping him with batting practice in a field outside one of the Mormon churches in Sunland, California. Mike also took his son to attend games at Dodger stadium. Both father and son were in the stands when St. Louis Cardinals' Fernando Tatis Sr. hit two grand slam home runs in one inning against the Dodgers in April, 1999.
