You Gotta Love Pedro

Seth Mnookin’s “Feeding The Monster” has an interesting anecdote about Pedro Martinez (courtesy of Can't Stop the Bleeding):

In 2001, the Herald’s Jeff Horrigan was doing an interview with Martinez for Sports Illustrated For Kids. Horrigan asked Martinez his favorite color. “Green.” Favorite book? “Whatever.” Favorite actress? “Sandra Bullock.” Secret ambition? “I would like to fuck Sandra Bullock,” Martinez replied with a grin. Horrigan explained that likely wasn’t an appropriate response for children’s magazine and asked the question again. Martinez dutifully amended his answer. “I would like to sleep with Sandra Bullock.”
