As I was reading this interview with Nick Swisher, I couldn’t help but wonder why Milton Bradley can’t even come close to Swisher with regards to his obvious love of the game and his joy in developing a strong (positive) relationship with the fans:

SI.com: You’ve become a fan favorite in New York. How has your first season here treated you?

Swisher: New York has been absolutely wonderful, man. Coming here has been a godsend for me. Not only that, I really have to thank the fans and my teammates for the way they welcomed me in. They made me feel like part of the organization and family, and that’s exactly what you’re looking for when you come to a new team.

Swisher: It’s amazing. The Bleacher Creatures are what makes that stadium. To have that honor to play right field in front of them every day has been great. I think I’ve developed a great relationship with them. It’s been awesome the way they’ve really brought in the new stadium and we’re having an absolute blast.

Milty: That’s how you get the fans on your side. They’ll forgive you for your shortcomings if you embrace them. It ain’t that hard.

: But you’ve still managed to have a special relationship with the Bleacher Creatures out there.
