"Curtis Granderson could end up scoring more runs in a season than any Yankee in almost 75 years.

The star center fielder scored two more times in yesterday's 8-3 win over the Rockies to give him a major league-best 68 runs on the year. He's on pace now to score 146 runs, which would match Rickey Henderson's MLB-best 146 for the Yankees in 1985.

No Yankee has scored more than that since Joe DiMaggio crossed the plate 151 time in 1937. Babe Ruth holds the Yankees record with 177 runs scored in 1921.

Asked if he knew who was leading the majors in runs scored, Granderson replied, "No clue."

When told it was him, he admitted he's pleased to be crossing the plate so often.

"It's always a big thing for me," he said, "especially since I'm back up near the top of the lineup."

Granderson has scored in seven straight games, one short of the longest streak of his career, which he has accomplished twice, including May 21-29 this year."
