CF Curtis Granderson has been named Marvin Miller Man of the Year by the MLB Players Association. The award is given to the player whose "on-field and off-field performance most inspires others to higher levels of achievement, by displaying as much passion to give back to others as he shows between the lines on the baseball diamond," according to the Players Association. Miller was the founding executive director of the Players Association. Granderson began the Grand Kids Foundation, which works to improve opportunities for inner-city youth in the areas of education and youth baseball. He is also a member of the Action Team national youth volunteer program, which encourages volunteerism in more than 150 high schools across the U.S.
