Video posted of Pedro Martinez at cockfight: “Now it’s New York Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal who are being denounced for animal fighting. A video of Martinez and Marichal at a cockfight was posted this week on YouTube and it showed the two laughing before releasing the roosters. They took part as honorary “soltadores,” the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight.” Before you label Pedro as the Michael Vick of baseball, remember that cockfighting is LEGAL in the Dominican Republic (Martinez’s birth country) and that Martinez wasn’t fighting his own… chicken.
