baseball city festive freezing means warm
I think it's more festive and I think it's more of a celebration that winter's over. Baseball season's here, which means summer's here and it's going to warm up. It's more than just a baseball game, I think, in Detroit, more than any other city I've been in. It's like a celebration that the freezing weather's out of the way for the most part.

Knowing Troy, he was going to have to (try) because he was professional in every aspect of the game, so you didn't expect him to just not show up and collect his checks. He was going to try and pitch because he's a competitor first and foremost.
