Fans probably best remember Michael Spina for leading the Ports in Home Runs in 2010. Now see what Michael has been up to when he’s not hitting bombs out of Banner Island Ballpark!

Q: What
are you up to in the off-season?

A: I am spending a lot of time with my family that I don’t get to
do during the season that I am away. I like to go fishing a lot. I am now
training and working out and getting ready for spring training.

Q: What
is your daily routine like in the off-season compared to during the season?

A: Well I don’t get to sleep in as much in the off season as I do
during the season. I live in Florida so I am able to run outside unlike others
in the country. So I wake up about 7 in the morning go for a run then I go to
the gym. I then eat lunch then I go and hit and take ground balls. After that I
usually do some kind of agility work. I do this Monday-Friday and off on the
weekends.

Q: What
did you miss most when you were away during the season?

A: I miss playing against other teams. I love to play baseball so
I really miss that.

Q: What
non-baseball activities do you enjoy in your spare time?

A: I like to do anything outdoors but I really like to fish and
hunt and I do it a lot in the off season.

Q: What
are your goals for 2011?

A: My goals this year is to be hopefully moved up to Double-A and
have an even better year than I did this past year. It was my first full season
so I understand my body and what it takes to get through the whole year of 140
plus games. I want to have more home runs and more RBIs this year coming
up because that’s the type of hitter I am and what it’s going to take for me to
get to the big leagues.

Q: What is your plan post-baseball?

A:Well hopefully I won’t have to think about this for a long time
down the road but I have my degree in criminal justice so I will do something
with that in that field.

Q: What did you enjoy about your time
in Stockton?

A: I loved the stadium we had the nicest stadium I think in the California
league and I enjoyed playing at home on the nice playing surface.

Q: Do you
keep in touch with any of your Ports teammates?

A: Yes I do! I stay in touch with Jeremy Barfield and Tyler Ladendorf.
And I chat with others on Facebook staying in touch.

Favorite Restaurant in Stockton: BJ’S

Best Minor League Stadium: Banner Island Ball Park

Best Minor League City: San Jose is probably a Big
league city so much to do and its pretty fun. Unfortunately we didn’t stay
there but was fortunate enough to go there a couple times.

Best Moment in Stockton: Going
on a trip during the all star break to Lake Tahoe. It was beautiful and
something I never experienced before. Very Nice!!
