Ethier and Pedroia talking with Don Newcombe at 2008 Exhibition Game:Andre Ethier is working hard with his good friend and Boston Red Sox Dustin Pedroia. Check out the article from Peter Gammons:
The condition for Dustin Pedroia's family vacation with sidekick Andre Ethier and his family was that they had to have proper workout facilities. Ethier found a villa in Virgin Gorda with a fully-equipped weight room and tennis courts (Pedroia's original sport and the source of his astounding hand-eye coordination), and close to everything Pedroia and Ethier use every day in Arizona.
Some families go to Virgin Gorda to swim, sail and relax. "It was awesome," Pedroia says, "but I couldn't take time off from trying to put the Red Sox back where they belong."
So Kelli (and 3-month-old Dylan) Pedroia and Maggie (and 14-month-old Dreson) Ethier had to tolerate their maniacal husbands' obsessive conditioning routines. "We want to change things in baseball," Pedroia says with a laugh. "Seriously, last season was unacceptable. I don't want to go through that again."
