Hey guys,
I worked for a minor league team that, a long time ago, used to be the single A affiliate of the Dodgers when Pedro was part of their system. My boss gave me an old desk that he thought had last been used in the mid-90s. Inside, I found signed balls, old photos and other memorabilia. Among all of this stuff, were these two pictures of Pedro. They have been sitting in my garage for about seven years and I came across them again this weekend while I was cleaning it out. Just wanted to get them out there in case anything every happens to them.
He pitched here for 10 games. He was 19 years old at the time. This was his first stop after rookie ball. These are obviously not in game performances. The story I was told about them was that they were taken the first day that Pedro arrived in Bakersfield. He was asked to pose for some pictures that were used for a team magnet giveaway. One of these pictures was used to make a Pedro Martinez magnet. We had one hanging on the fridge inside the clubhouse. There's also a Mike Piazza and Eric Karros magnet and I think I have the pictures they used for those somewhere around here as well...
Anyhow, not sure if this belongs on the main board. I figured, Pedro... main board. If not, feel free to move it to where ever.
