Its no surprise that Los Angeles Dodgers star Corey Seager likes to keep an eye on how his brother is playing, but you will be surprised by what TV show he watches to bring him good luck on the field.Who was your favorite player growing up? Seager:?Derek Jeter. Both of my parents are from Upstate New York, so my dad was a Yankees fan and I grew up a Yankees fan. Then, there are the obvious reasons why. Great player, great person, great teammate. Hes just a true professional. And Im still waiting to meet him.Who is your favorite player to watch today (not a teammate)? Seager:?I guess I have to go Kyle [Seager], dont I? Go with him. Ive watched him for a long time and still enjoy watching him.Who is your most underrated teammate? Seager:?Its probably that guy right there (points to Justin Turner sitting nearby). Definitely that guy right there for sure. We wouldnt be where we are without him, thats for sure. He carried us for a month, month and a half. Its been really big and hopefully he keeps it up.Whats the most annoying question you are asked by the media?Seager:?I cant say the one I was going to say about being asked about my brother, because I just said he was my favorite player, non-teammate. Id say the ones about errors, when they ask about errors. Those are the hardest oones to answer.ddddddddddddne rule you would change? Seager:?The slide at second. The neighborhood play. I would change that back to normal. I would go back to the way it was before. At least, the way it was before you could get away from the runner a little bit. Now youre on the bag and have to be on the bag and they have to slide into the bag so its worse, I think. You have to re-learn turning the double play.Who is ultimately responsible for policing the game? Players, manager, umpires, league? Seager:?I would say the players and managers are the good way to police it because they are actually in on the game. If you just see something on one play, it could be caught out of context.How big of a problem are PEDs in todays game? Seager:?I dont really have a notion of it. They are cracking down on it so thats good. They are trying to eliminate it as much as possible.What is something that people dont know about you or have wrong about you?Seager:?I am an avid fan of the show New Girl. The Schmidt character is hilarious. I am a New Girl watcher. When you need hits the next day, I watch episodes of New Girl. Thats my superstition. It gets me locked in. ' ' '
