Curtis Granderson has had some awful luck this season, being sidelined by two major injuries, but he’s still making a big impact this year.

According to the Associated Press the Yankees outfielder has agreed to donate $5 million to his alma mater, the University of Illinois-Chicago, to “pay for most of the cost a new baseball stadium.” Apparently the total cost of the 1,200-seat ballpark is $7 million and it’ll be called Curtis Granderson Stadium.

Granderson was drafted in the third round out of UIC in 2002 and has earned about $44 million during his career, so in addition to $5 million being a ton of money in general it’s a pretty big chunk of his lifetime earnings.

That's putting up big numbers.

Good for Granderson.

Good dude. Good player. Always enjoyed him whenever he was on a local sports show as a guest.

Nomination denied. He has played in only eight (8) games the whole season.

Like the last sentence says, that would be a little too much of the lifetime earning for my comfort, especially for a baseball field for a public university. It's not my money so good for him.

What the hell do I care about a ballpark at this school? Get me some hits, damn it.

Oh, Joe Girardi wrote a nice letter to a school boy. Yes, and his ass just got swept by the bleeping Mets.

I like how you type out ass, but then use bleeping. :lol:
