Pedro Martinez has taught me that:

Baseball players should take steroids.

Medusa is black.

Lips: underrated.

Male armpit hair: underrated.

ALWAYS wear gloves when lifting over 2 lbs.

You wouldn't want to get calluses.

That's why he wears a hat.

He has arms like Halle Berry.

The BoSox knew something we obviously didn't.

You can hide a triple chin with a well-groomed goatee and black Nike Dri-Fit.

He works out in a warehouse.

There are photographers like Ansel Adams who constantly redefine their art, and then there is this guy.

Some pictures just speak one word: Wow.

The Mets are in trouble.

"Hard" is a relative term. ("I'm in the middle of my hard workouts and I would have loved to stay in the Dominican [rather than go to New York]," Martinez said this winter.)
