Tires, It Seems, Are in Pedroia's Blood.

Perhaps a widely known fact, but new to me, is that Dustin Pedroia's family owns a tire store called Valley Tire out in California.

It's mentioned briefly in a story about him that was published in the Sacramento Bee. He brought his own little cheering section to Tuesday's game by giving tickets to the employees.

I think, however, that it's pretty clear that the writer didn't get an accurate impression of little Dusty. She writes:

"Did we mention his genuine aw-shucks humility? His persistence? He won't, but others do."

Mr. "Check out the gun show"-"Mandatory ab check" is humble? Doesn't really seem likely.
