Curtis Granderson is a very popular guy in Detroit. Tiger fans love him because he's not only a good baseball player but an energetic young man and, by all accounts, a pleasure to be around.He's so popular, in fact, that someone is impersonating him on the Internet (obviously the one true sign of being totally cool and universally loved). Specifically, someone is posing as Granderson under the Match.com screen name, Curtis4soulmate.
It's already been confirmed that the profile is in fact not Granderson's and Major League Baseball is apparently investigating:
"It has been reported to Major League Baseball and their security team," said Granderson publicist John Fuller. "All of this is out of our hands."The fake Granderson's go-to move is obviously to post a picture of the real Granderson and lure women in that way, but don't they request new photos? Or do they really think this is Curtis Granderson because, as a professional athlete and multi-millionaire, he somehow can't manage to meet women and has resorted to online dating in order to try and meet his soulmate.
[...]"We want to make sure that those people are fully aware of this," Fuller said. "You do hear about some scary situations, with people meeting off the Internet, and that's a big concern of ours. You never know what's happening out there."
See? It doesn't sound very likely when you think of it "rationally" or "in a somewhat sane manner." Of course, that doesn't make the Internet less scary or dangerous or full of creeps, but thinking that way is at least a start.
