DETROIT -- The conversation began with the spacious outfield at Comerica Park. It came after Cameron Maybin went crashing into the center-field wall to chase the Rays' Steve Pearce's drive last Sunday. It morphed into a talk on his history in big ballparks.
"It doesn't really matter to me," Maybin said, "because I just try to hit singles."
The 29-year-old Maybin doesn't only hit singles, of course, but it reflects his mentality on making contact.
