"Justin Verlander has been making his rounds across the country.

He has gone from award show to award show this off-season, appeared on Conan O'Brien and is the poster boy for this year's "MLB 2K12" video game.

"Obviously the first question everybody asks is, how do you like Detroit?" Verlander said Sunday morning in an interview with WXYZ-TV (Channel 7).

"And my answer is I love it," he said. "I think that it's a very unique city, the people here are fantastic, it's unbelievable. I think we have the best sports fans in the world.""
