According to the New York Daily News, as if on cue, a Yankee reached out to the PSAL looking for a way to get involved with scholastic baseball in the New York area. PSAL official Tyrone Parker told Yankees starting center fielder Curtis Granderson that they were in dire need of more bats, both for baseball and softball, which still uses metal bats.

That’s when Granderson offered up a chunk of his own salary, without hesitation. Calling in additional help from his own bat sponsor, Louisville Slugger, the athletic outfielder plunked down a donation in the region of $50,000 to purchase at least 300 bats to stock the 139 varsity baseball teams and 115 varsity softball teams that compete in the PSAL’s various divisions, for the rest of the season and possibly beyond.

“Once the PSAL switched from aluminum bats to wood bats, all of a sudden you’re going to see a hike in the price,” Granderson told the Daily News. “With Louisville Slugger, there was no hesitation. Let me get the equipment because I can help out a lot of kids who need it.”
