For those two hours, Martínez, the Mets star known for his intensity and cleverness on the mound and his quirkiness off it, is in the yard outside his six-bedroom Tudor revival home in Greenwich, Conn. He is planting. He is pruning. He is talking to his tulips. "What about you, beauty?" he will ask in language rarely, if ever, heard on a baseball field. "Aren't you going to grow up to be so pretty?"Not that there's anything wrong with gardening as a hobby. Given Pedro's success this season, can we expect other pitchers to take the cue?
UPDATE:
How is it that this story made the front page of the New York Times and this did not? Who makes these decisions? It took the Times months before they even bothered to put the Darfur genocide on the front page, but a puff piece about Pedro got there? What are they thinking?
