"When my family and friends start talking about me being a Yankee, I think about what it means," said Granderson. "There's the Lakers in basketball, the Cowboys in football and the Yankees in baseball. No matter where I travel around the world, people know about the Yankees. To now be a part of that franchise is amazing. "I look forward to going to Boston as a Yankee. When you go to Fenway with another team, you can see the confidence of the fans. Like, Hey, we know we're going to win. When you go in as a Yankee, they're like, We might win, but this is going to be a battle. That's the kind of respect this franchise has earned. |
