Get To Know Padres' Justin Upton

In eight years in the Major Leagues, Justin Upton has gone to two All-Star Games. Sure, there are players who have done more in their first eight seasons, but keep in mind, Upton is only 27 years old. That means he’s entering his prime. Last year in Atlanta, Upton drove on 102 runs, the first time he’s topped the 100 RBI mark, and did it on an offense that scored the second-fewest runs in baseball (beating only the Padres). Now that Upton is surrounded by talented hitters, he could be in for a monster year. NBC 7’s Derek Togerson asked Upton how the transition to San Diego is going, and found out if guys who’ve been in pro baseball for a decade still get excited about the game.
