The Yankees introduced their newest acquisition, center fielder Curtis Granderson, today in a press conference from Yankee Stadium. Granderson will don number 14 since Joe Girardi is taking number 28 in reference to the team’s goal of a 28th title. The Yankees hope Granderson will be the next great player that fits into the team’s lineage of exceptional center fielders.

“I’m excited to get a chance to be here with the defending world champions,” Granderson said at the press conference. “Hopefully we can look to repeat and add titles throughout the course of my career and be in the great city of New York.”

Granderson’s character will fit well in the Yankees’ clubhouse and his bat will fit well in Yankee Stadium.
