My first game at Sun Devil there were cards fans holding signs that said "boycott Pedro" after Gomez's call for fans to boycott the cardinals in Arizona. Its was the game against the Lions cards won in OT.

Shocking! He was so young. Lots of great memories from him.

I still remember when Pedro said something in the News to the effect that Cardinals fans were fools to support this team. I think it was back in the late 90s or early 2000s. The next home game I remember him walking down the aisle next to my seats in Section 11 to get on the field . That entire area wasn't happy with him. We were all chanting "Pedro" as he made the walk of shame down to the field.

A really terrific baseball reporter. Like everyone I was shocked and surprised by this news.
