Curtis Granderson

You never hear about good seafood places.

The Rockies and Diamondbacks are both very exciting teams who are fighting for recognition.

Teachers shape so much of what a kid's upbringing can be.

No matter what you do, people are gonna try to emulate you. Whether it's a dunk by Michael Jordan or a swing by Ken Griffey Jr., kids are doing the same things.

For the most part, I don't think I'm any different than anybody else.

Left-handed pitchers get paid a lot of money to get left-handed guys out or else they wouldn't be in there. They feel confident going up against lefties. If you look at most lefties' numbers, typically they happen to be better against lefties than against righties. That's all it is.

I love to play basketball, but I haven't played in awhile. But if I could get back on the court and play, I definitely would.

Basketball was always my sport. It just took me until my second year of college for me to realize that I was a better baseball player than a basketball player. But basketball was always my number one love. Finally found out I was better at baseball and chose to pursue that route.

I love to eat. I'm not the biggest guy, but I love to eat.

It's funny: I kinda still float under the radar. I'm not tall like a New York Knick; I'm not a heavy, strong New York Giant or New York Jet. I blend in pretty well. A lot of people don't recognize me too many places. More men recognize me than women.

My charity is called 'Grand Kids.' People keep thinking it's 'Grandkids.'

I feel like kids in general, not just African-American kids, are influenced by what they see, both positive and negative.
