Negative Publicity

Pedro Martinez is waiting impatiently for his new shoes:

"I'm waiting on Nike to actually do the shoes. They're getting a lot of publicity, but they don't deserve it, because they've done a (poor) job," Martinez said after spending four hours at the team's complex yesterday.

"...I know the doctor gave them the mold and gave them the information they needed. I don't know what they're doing."

Nike might want to think about providing status reports to Pedro on the progress of the work. And maybe in the future, ballplayers might consult an old fashioned shoe maker. I'm sure there must be some in in the big cities, and it would be easier to make adjustments as the season progresses. (My grandfather did this kind of work in Bridgeport, CT, in the early part of the 20th century.)

Update: I had forgotten the link.
