When I first read the headline, I thought it meant that Pedro liked A-Rod.

Ooh, great factoid, pb. I just looked up this NY Times article from 1981 about the garden - after Pignatano was fired, Shea said they wouldn't keep up the garden!

Shea Stadium itself has a garden in the bullpen started by Joe Pignatano. http://members.frys.com/~marimba/SilverBullets/Coaches/Pignatano.html

Pedro is the next big thing in NY sports. And yes watch out for those gardening injuries, we don't want you to do what Bobby Ojeda did.
