Former UIC star Curtis Granderson hit his first major league HR against the Minnesota Twins today. It was a game winner in the bottom of the 7th off of Carlos Silva. In addition to that, he made a great catch while playing CF. If anybody has time, make sure to catch the highlights on ESPN. Very fun seeing a guy on ESPN who I saw play at Flames Field just a few years ago.

Curtis had another good day today...he went 2-3 with a walk, a triple, a HR, and 2 RBI. He's raised his average to .429. A lot of people on the Detroit Tigers message board are real excited about him. From the comments, his defense is suspect in CF. He's inconsistent....made a great play yesterday and completely misjudged a ball today.... You can actually see Granderson video highlights if you click on this link and look for another link which says "Granderson's Big Day". Detroit Tigers page |

Sorry to keep bumping these Granderson threads, but he has been playing well for Detroit as of late. Last night against Cy Young candidate Bartolo Colon, Granderson hit a 3-run inside-the-park homerun and raised his average to .295. He also robbed Molina of homerun with a leaping catch in CF (after the stadium people prematurely set off fireworks). You can see both videos at detroittigers.com. Also, there is a new baseball center being constructed at UIC. Granderson was one of several who made a significant donation...$25,000. Now, I'm not sure what he's paid for his little time in the majors, but that sounds like a big chunk of money from a young guy....very generous! uicflames.collegesports.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/091605aab.html |

I have been seeing his name more and more. The other day I think he went 3-3 with a HR. Granted, when you don't hear about him, that means he probably didn't do much and I don't really follow the Tigers. But great to hear he is doing good and also great to hear he is giving some back to UIC!
