Curtis Granderson is a Major League Baseball player for the New York Yankees. He began in 2010 with the Yankees and played for the Detroit Tigers for five years before that. He’s a left-handed batter and throws right-handed. The center fielder won the Silver Slugger Award in 2011. Off the field, Granderson is known for his community work through charity organizations and outreach programs.
As a child, Granderson grew up a fan of the Atlanta Braves, choosing not to root for his hometown’s Chicago Cubs, because he often rushed home from school to watch Saved by the Bell and was disappointed when a Cubs game was on instead. Granderson is also an avid fan of WWE, and attended WrestleMania 23 in Detroit. He considers The Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Junkyard Dog, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan among his favorite wrestlers. He is also an avid fan of college basketball and the Kansas Jayhawks.
