Pedro Martinez' Hair In 2004
Five weeks ago, Jerry Crasnick wrote in his ESPN.com column:
Quote:
I just noticed this in the recent print edition of Baseball America, where they recycle the ESPN features of Crasnick, Gammons, etc. I laughed out loud, yes, a true "LOL," when I read this line this morning. FWIW, "Coming to America" is in the same category as "Trading Places" in terms of movies that I still laugh at, when I see them, no matter how many times I see them. John Landis is incredible. Animal House, Trading Places, Coming To America........ Wow, you know, if you order them like this: Coming To America, Animal House, Trading Places You just might have the "Pedro Martinez Red Sox Story" with the pulse points of 1998, 2004, and 2005........

I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller! Have you read The Baseball Same Game? |

Unfortunately for Landis he also has "Blues Brothers 2000" on his resume.
And "The Stupids" And "Oscar" Granted, his early work helps cover that for him.
