Thinking back to a little less than a year ago, I thought the Blue Jays were being a little cheap by signing Curtis Granderson to supplement their outfield, even if I believed he could help a bit. I had no idea the positive influence and impact he would leave on the Blue Jays in not even a full season in Toronto.
There might not be a better person in all of baseball than Granderson, who plays the game the right way, treats his teammates and coaches with the utmost respect and professionalism, and spends a lot of his free time devoted to charity work.
