But now, he’s centerfielder for MLB’s New York Yankees. He arrived in New York via a trade just before the 2010 season. That same season, he had 20 homers, 20 steals, 20 doubles and 20 triples. That was a first for the MLB. In fact, his first Yankee at-bat, was a homer.<br /> <br /> Impressive, no?<br /> <br /> But he’s not just a great athlete. He’s a great inspiration. Off the field, Granderson has served as an ambassador for Major League Baseball International. In appreciation, Commissioner Bud Selig wrote in a thank you letter, "There are so many fine young men playing Major League baseball today, but I can think of no one who is better suited to represent our national pastime than you.”<br /> <br /> He’s even written a book, All You Can Be: Dream It, Draw It, Become It! It shares lessons he learned growing up – like the importance of family, choosing the right friends and the value of being yourself. He flies his own flag. And he flies it high.<br /> <br /> <strong><a href="http://www.grandkidsfoundation.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">CHECK OUT CURTIS' CHARITY "GRAND KIDS</span></a></strong> <p></p></div> <div class="countdown" data-countdown=""></div> </div>
