Granderson said his final farewell to Detroit on Sunday at my fiance’s alma mater for his annual Grand Kids Foundation basketball game. Long-time Fox Reporter, Jennifer Hammond interviews him at the end of the day about his time in Detroit and how weird it will be for him to be in the Yankees pinstripes (not quite like him in referee pinstripes). Granderson also stole her post-interview hug virginity, which should tell you how much Granderson meant (and still means) to Detroiters.
Tears and incoherent puffery around the two minute mark will make a grown man’s eyes well up.
Even as a proponent of this trade, I still think Curtis is a class act and a good ball-player. The Yankees are very lucky to be getting this guy to represent their team and that city with whatever he does.
As for his return to Detroit in May, I don’t think it will be get quite the ovation Chauncey’s did, but Curtis will definitely get a nice, well deserved, standing-O from the crowd. I know I’ll stand and cheer.
Best of luck, Curtis.
