MLB 09 The Show: Dustin Pedroia Interview (ESPN)

[iamemmittsmith]

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

Quote:

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."

I was thinking the same thing...I mean he is not Manny

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.
