It's completely legal in the Dominican Republic, so I don't think we have a Michael Vick controversy here, but you have to wonder what the public outcry will be regarding the video showing Pedro and Juan Marichal at a cockfight.
I have to imagine that PETA will be all over this and demonstrating outside of Shea Stadium and elsewhere this season. |

It's legal and even popular in the DR from what I've heard. It doesn't make it right, and pedro should probably know better than to be spotting in these things, but...I don't think it's a big story.

Yeah, like the southerners in that Seinfeld episode with Little Jerry. Oh wait, that was probably in New York City.

It's still legal in some states. I know Roy Jones is into it big time. Bizarre. You'd think that these guys would find different forms of entertainment once they reached millionaire status.

The above was filmed at Farn's Phoenix area residence when Species came to visit during spring training.

Juan Marichal is one of the three or four most respected stars of his generation, so I expect this story to die fast.

He was a great pitcher but he's also the guy who hit Johnny Roseboro in the head with a baseball bat.

Right. And as wikipedia says Marichal and Roseboro would eventually go on to become close friends, reconciling any personal animosity and even autographing photographs of the brawl.

well played GO.
My farm is really coming along nicely. I was trying to figure out why my chickens had such poor egg production. Then my neighbor pointed out I had picked up a rooster. So I had no choice but to head for cock fighting.

Don't you love the "feet" part of the costume? I gotta get that thing by Halloween.
