Pedro posted this on Twitter today with the (hilarious) comment of "Work smarter, not harder." I thought you'd appreciate it, especially on a day when some of us are thinking about Green Fields of the Mind.

Pedro pitched an immaculate inning on May 18, 2002 against the Seattle Mariners. He struck out Ichiro (!!), Mark McLemore and Ruben Sierra on nine pitches. I linked to the Wikipedia entry for pitchers who have thrown an immaculate inning, and.I was struck by the familiar names. Fat Billy from Ohio did it against Nomar, Valentin and Vaughn, also in the first in September of 1997.
Chris Sale did it twice in 2019. The list of pitchers who have accomplished the feat twice includes Lefty Grove, Sandy Koufax, Satchel Paige, Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Max Scherzer and Kevin Gausman. Koufax did it three times, and I had to look up Kevin Gausman.
Take a few minutes to watch the embedded clip, which also includes the WEEI call. We're lucky to have witnessed Pedro.
