Oct. 12 Curtis Granderson postgame interview

THE MODERATOR: Curtis, congratulations on a big night. First question for Curtis.

Q. Curtis, after your hit, you went motioned to the dugout and went like this, what was that about?

CURTIS GRANDERSON: Kirk Nieuwenhuis and I have just been joking around about spoken word and poetry slams, if you ever attend them, the way you clap, you clap like this. So it's just been something that we've been doing, joking around about the quiet, calm way to cheer for somebody. And unfortunately, he was actually inside, in the cage, so I didn't get a chance to find him when I was making the gesture to him.
