SPORTING NEWS: How was your offseason, Trey?
TREY MANCINI: It was great. I live in Nashville, so I went there. Did some travelling, I had like five weddings I went to. It was a lot. It went by pretty quick. Every weekend was pretty jam-packed.
SN: Being in Nashville, you eat a lot of barbecue?
TM: Yeah, yeah, absolutely! Martin's is my favorite place.
SN: What's your favorite thing to do in the offfseason? Any favorite hobby?
TM: Travelling. During the season you get to see your friends some, because you get to travel to a lot of the cities, and my friends live in a lot of the cities we go to. But it's kinda different during the offseason because you have time to see all your friends. I really do like travelling a lot, going back to Florida, seeing my family.
SN: Are you a big movie guy?
TM: Relatively. I like TV shows more.
SN: What's your favorite show?
TM: "The Office."
SN: After Steve Carrell left, too?
TM: I thought it was still pretty good. I think, with age, people have started to accept the later seasons more. Especially the last season, they did a great job on it.
SN: Pizza or tacos?
TM: Pizza.
SN: New York or Chicago style?
TM: New York, definitely New York.
SN: Sometimes Chicago style can be like pizza soup.
TM: Laughs. I like it, don't get me wrong. But yeah, I prefer New York.
SN: Batman or Iron Man?
TM: Batman.
SN: Why?
TM: I like the "Dark Knight" movies. They're some of my favorite movies ever, so that's probably why.
