Pedro and Petunias

10
Vote

To relax before and after pitching, Pedro Martinez spends two hours gardening at his home in Connecticut, where he has eight acres of land. He finds it relaxing both for his mind and body and a good way to bring his life back into equilibrium after the aggression he feels on the pitching mound. Pedro has been known to talk to his flowers, which include tulips, yellow daffodils, purple petunias, and cotton-candy-colored hyacinths.

That was one of the oddest articles I have read about a professional sports athlete. Pedro is an interesting cat.

Thank God for those flowers! Otherwise Pedro might be tossing bald senior citizens to the ground off the diamond too.

Does Pedro now get his intimidating pitcher card revoked? Deos Roger Clemens show up at his house and rip it into shreds right in front of him? I need to know these things.

He could be doing a lot worse than gardening. If he has 8 acres of land, he may as well look after it properly.
