There's a joke in there somewhere ...

Just saw this on espn.com ... wow.

    Video posted of Martinez at cockfight


    A video of New York Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal at a cockfight was posted this week on YouTube.

    Martinez and Marichal laugh before releasing the roosters. The two took part as honorary "soltadores," the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight.

    The animal released by Martinez appears to be killed on the video, which was posted Tuesday. The fight takes place in the Coliseo de Gallos (Rooster Coliseum) in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic's biggest cockfighting venue. Cockfighting is legal and popular in the Dominican Republic.

    By early Thursday, the video was removed "due to terms of use violation."

Apparently, Pedro's Cock demanded a guaranteed contract before agreeing to fight but was killed by a torn rotator cuff.
