MLB 09 The Show: Dustin Pedroia Interview (ESPN)

[iamemmittsmith]

ESPN has posted their interview with Dustin Pedroia, cover athlete for MLB 09 The Show.

ESPN: MLB 09's big feature is that fans can use a peripheral like the Rock Band mic and record their own crowd chants. You can scream things about my mom, yell "Pedroia sucks!" then cue the audio when that player comes up to bat. What's the funniest thing anyone ever yelled at you during a game that I can try to mimic on the PS3?

Dustin Pedroia: I really don't get it that bad other than all the short jokes. But I guarantee that all the Red Sox fans are going to get a big kick out of this as it's a new way to razz Yankee players. I'm sure it's going to be a big hit in the New England area.

Nice. Good find. Would be cool to be on the cover of a videogame.

I notice in one of the pics they show Pedroia admiring a homerun ball. There is no way Pedroia is going to hit a ball far enough to admire it....

LMAO, only in New York!

"The best one I heard was at Yankee Stadium. We were playing the shift on Giambi and someone was yelling "The grass is taller than you, Pedroia!" I was like, jeez, man."

Actually Pedroia has hit quite a few bombs over the monster. Now saying much since the monster is right on top of him but he still has some pop.

Here on ESPN Radio 1300 in Baltimore, they run a commerical where he was a special guest and one Yanke fan said...

"Hey Pedroia stand up so we can see you cause the grass is hitting you in the head"

I almost died.

Go Orioles!

That's exactly what it was, though.

That article wasn't really about 2K9 the game.

While I do find it funny, Pedroia being 5' 8" is taller than half the NY Italians razzing him. :wink:
