Had season tickets to the Tigers for his first few seasons (was living in Ann Arbor) and he is easily the best pitcher I've ever seen. Homey was pumping 100+, easily, in the 8th and 9th innings. Like watching a varsity pitcher mow down a coed gym class of slightly autistic octogenarians.
(side note, on his off days, he was fun to watch fight with Granderson as they shagged fly balls in CF. They went after it hard, JV leaping on Grandy's back at one point to try and catch a fly ball before he could and they both toppled laughing. Hadn't ever see professional athletes have so damn much fun. Really easy guy to root for, same for Granderson.)
