"I saw the ball, I didn't want to spill my beer and I didn't spill my beer," he said. "I don't really remember what happened. I think I leaned forward, caught the ball, then fell like that . It was pretty cool." The fan was grabbed by his brother before going all the way over, where he could have fallen about 20 feet. Butler didn't gloat, and Cano said all of the right things, about how he didn't mind the booing and he wasn't thinking about the fans as he came up empty swing after swing. But the Home Run Derby, while usually competitive, is starting to get a little serious.

While Canó hit only one home run in April, he recovered to hit seven homers in May, and a career-high 11 home runs in June. He returned to compete in the 2012 Home Run Derby but was not able to repeat the previous year's victory. He became the ninth player to fail to hit a home run in the Derby, and first since Brandon Inge in 2009. He also led the AL in batting average on the road (.364; 96/264) and after the sixth inning (.353; 55/156). He had the third-worst walk percentage in the league at 3.6%.

Canó batted .094 in 12 games for the Padres, with 10 strikeouts in 34 plate appearances, and was released by the Padres on June 2. In his first at bat as a Met, Canó hit a home run off of Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals. On July 23, 2019, Canó had his first career three-home-run game and drove in all five of the team's runs during a game at Citi Field against the San Diego Padres. Canó's second half saw a major improvement – he posted a second half OPS of .880 versus a .646 OPS in the first half.

Canó was also suspended for the entire 2021 season after testing positive for stanozolol. "It just came right at me, and I reached up and grabbed, I played a little trick like I didn't have it," he said, making a tucking motion with his glove, "then went, oh, here it is. It's pretty cool." "I stepped up on the table, I missed the ball by 2 or 3 feet and went over," he said. "We caught three balls and I told the guys I was going to go for the cycle. Dude, they were really holding onto me." In the first round, Bautista hit 11, Trumbo seven and Fielder five.

He finished the season with a milestone 200 hits and 100+ RBIs . Canó recorded the final walk-off hit in Yankee Stadium history by singling in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning in the Yankees 1–0 victory over the Orioles on September 20, 2008. In the final game at Yankee Stadium the next night , Canó recorded the final RBI in Stadium history with his sacrifice fly in the 7th inning, scoring Brett Gardner with the Stadium's final run. Canó missed only five games over the 2007 and 2008 seasons, and was one of only three Yankees to hit a home run as a pinch hitter.

On August 20, Canó hit his 200th career home run, a three-run blast to center field off of Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Esmil Rogers at Yankee Stadium. During the 2013 season, Canó batted .314 with 190 hits, 27 home runs, and 107 RBI in 160 games played.

A similar thing happened a season ago after Prince Fielder omitted Arizona's Justin Upton from the NL Derby team for the event at Chase Field. Cano wasn't so fortunate at the Derby, and that's how most folks in the stands will remember the night. Unless you happened to catch a home run hit by someone else.
