TORONTO -- It's been almost two decades since Curtis Granderson last stepped out on a Little League baseball field, but the 37-year-old Blue Jays outfielder has never forgotten where his baseball career began.
If you drive southbound from Chicago down Interstate 94 for about half an hour, you'll come upon a pair of towns where a young Granderson started playing baseball. It's the Little Leagues in those towns -- Lynwood and Lansing, Ill. -- that Granderson has decided to commemorate on his Players' Weekend "Grandyman" jersey.
"That's where it all started," Granderson said.
