Grant Goes Yard at Batting Practice Before Ducks Night at Angel Stadium

Minutes before stepping into the batter's box at Angel Stadium, Derek Grant jokingly says a few games of slow pitch softball this summer prepared him for this moment. Decked out in Angels gear, Grant waited in the on-deck circle, his eyes fixated on Rickard Rakell's rather unorthodox approach at the plate.
