Professional career

New York Mets

Stanton played two seasons with the Mets. In limited playing time he had five hits in 25 at bats with two RBIs and one double.

On December 10, {{mlby|1971}}, Stanton was traded by the Mets with Francisco Estrada, Don Rose, and Nolan Ryan to the California Angels for Jim Fregosi, this is considered one of the worst trades the Mets have ever made.

California Angels

Stanton hit three home runs in a July 10, {{mlby|1973}} game against the Baltimore Orioles to tie an Angels record. He led California with 14 home runs and 82 RBIs in {{mlby|1975}}.

Halos Heaven, a Los Angeles Angels blog, ranked Stanton as the 68th best Angel in franchise history saying; "Stanton saw a lot of action as an Angel, never truly excelling into greatness, never swooning into uselessness. That is why he and his 594 games under the Halo stand at number 68."[2]

In five seasons with the Angels Stanton played 594 games with 443 hits, 47 home runs and 242 RBIs. He lost his starting job in right field to Bobby Bonds at the start of the 1976 season after Bonds was acquired from the New York Yankees for Mickey Rivers.

Seattle Mariners

Stanton was selected by the Mariners in the 1976 Major League Baseball expansion draft. In {{By|1977}}, Stanton hit a career-high 27 home runs for the Mariners.

In two seasons with the M's, Stanton played 226 games, acquiring 180 hits, 30 home runs and 114 RBIs.
