Pedro Martinez

On the MLB Network's Hot Stove program, they were discussing the greatest pitching seasons of all time, and the panel was skeptical of Pedro's 1999 season being the top rated one on the list. In baseball, there is often this kind of attitude-anyone that we see or remember seeing can't possibly be the best ever.

But in 1999, Pedro Martinez posted a 2.07 ERA in a season when the league ERA was 5.02.

Suck on that.

  2. When discussing gardening, Pedro was quoted in a NYT article as saying, "You have to talk to the flowers to help them grow," and "...everything needs love." I love that whacko.
