That's pretty much what everyone on the team calls me." Favorite Restaurant In Ann Arbor: "Probably Chop House. It's not very regular, because it's pricy. I get the New York Strip." Best Meal He Can Cook By Him- self: "Barbeque chicken." Sports He Plays Besides Baseball: "I love to play hockey whenever I get the chance. When I go home or have an off day, I'll play some hockey. I grew up playing that sport." Hobbies: "Just sitting around with my teammates, watching TV. Nothing too serious. We like to keep it relaxed, so we can save our energy for base- ball." Favorite T V Show: "'G ame O f Thrones.'" Favorite Movie: "I have to go with a baseball movie — 'Bull Durham.' It's hilarious. The one-liners in there are great." Dream Vacation: "I want to visit all 30 Major League ballparks." Favorite Major League Park He Has Been To: "I like the whole aura of Wrigley Field, the old-school feel of it. I liked playing there, too. We played there last year against Northwestern. It was very cold, but all in all, it was a great experience. My favorite one, though, is probably old Tiger Stadium. I don't know why. It was just a great place to watch a game." Favorite Professional Athlete: "I really like D.J. LeMahieu. He's an in- fielder for the Colorado Rockies. I grew up hitting with him when he was in college, and he has been one of my big role models in baseball."
