We have the great fans in Detroit. We've got a great ballpark, great stadium.

I don't want to just be the best player. I want to be a great person, too.

I'm the kind of guy who, if I look inside and they throw me a fastball outside, and it's a strike, I'm going to swing. Everything in the strike zone, I'm going to swing. Doesn't matter if it's a fastball, changeup, breaking ball. If it's in the strike zone and it's something you like, you've got to swing.

The fans asked us for a championship. Here it is.

The fans wanted a home run but I was concentrating on making contact. Anything to bring the run in I was going to do. I was ready since I was on the on-deck circle.

When I was coming up, I just wanted to play baseball and I'm doing what I love to do most. How can I feel pressure doing what I love to do?
