Outfielder Cameron Maybin #24

Cameron: I got a couple big plans. Going to try to do it right for my 21st.
Nik: Have you ever gotten a really bad birthday present?
Cameron: Those times when I just get a card. I respond by flashing my big smile and say "It's the thought that counts!" Then I walk away with a mental note in my head to scratch them off my Christmas list.
Nik: Do you have any weird pre-game rituals?
Cameron: I don't really have any weird rituals. I just listen to my IPOD. I listen to some R&B to relax myself. I don't like to get too pumped up before the game. I'm pretty mellow and laid back.
Nik: Do you have any pet peeves, something someone can do to tick you off?
Cameron: I personally hate getting joked on. I hate getting the pranks pulled on me.
Nik: What is your favorite cartoon?
Cameron: I love watching cartoons. When I'm back in my room I watch a bunch of them. I'm a big Spongebob fan. I used to love Hey Arnold, Jimmy Neutron....I can keep going. I'm all about Nickelodeon.
Nik: Have you ever had a really bad nick name?
Cameron: Not really. Everyone calls me Cam, Killa Cam, Killa...Nothing really bad. People also call me Chris Tucker. I don't know if that is a compliment or an insult.
Nik: Who is someone that you met that made you have a major "geek-out" moment?
Cameron: The only person where I've "geeked out" was when I first met Ken Griffey Jr. He was one of my favorite players. He was one of the guys I watched growing up. That was really the only guy. I have met a lot of great guys, but he was the only one I was kind of speechless when I met him. But, he made it easy to talk to him.
Nik: What is the most creative way a woman has gone out of her way to get your attention?
Cameron: I've seen a few explicit things. Also, I had this one girl leave a whole love song on my voicemail one time. I was waiting on her to come in and start talking. It ended up being the whole love song and that's it. That was pretty crazy.
Nik: Did you save the song?
Cameron: No, I erased it immediately. I thought it was kind of creepy. I erased that phone number too.
Nik: When you're not playing baseball what can I find you doing?
Cameron: I like to be outside a lot. I don't like to sleep too much. I go fishing a lot back home. I like to go to the mall and check out the scenery....oh, and shop too. I love to buy shoes. I know this might sound kind of weird, but I buy my mom stuff from Victoria Secret.
Nik: Uh....you buy stuff from Victoria's Secret for your mom?
Cameron: I buy stuff from Victoria's Secret for my mom and aunts. Those holiday presents you need to get for the women in your family. I come from a big family of women. But, I just buy it from the store and that is as far as it goes. I will take their word for it that they actually wear it.
Nik: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Cameron: The best advice I've ever received was that "You can't teach experience". Sean Casey told me that. I've been going by that since I've been playing baseball. You only get better with experience. I live by that now.
Nik: What's your best pick up line?
Cameron:: "Hey baby...Wanna see a professional baseball card?" Then I'll just show the braces off. I kill'em with the smile. They like the metal.
