Photographer Frames Giancarlo Stanton's Record-Breaking Night
Score one for San Diego Union-Tribune staffer Nelvin Cepeda.
Nelvin Cepeda has been with the San Diego Union-Tribune for several decades. His challenge Monday, July 11 at Petco Park was to convey the awe-inspiring power-hitting show put on by Miami Marlin Giancarlo Stanton.
