Carlos Pena ~ 1B [R]

[Lets Go Rays]

CP (to the other reporter): Can you put out a call to the guy who always has me sign the taco? He always brings a Taco Bell taco for me to sign. Put something in the paper. That’s funny, right?
Other reporter: OK, how about, “I’m not playing until the Taco Man shows up”?
CP: I won’t, either. That’ll work.
So either this is a good luck charm, or El Gato is angling for a Taco Bell endorsement deal.
Some other topics covered in the interview

• Pena prefers Barnes and Noble to Borders and admits it gets him “chicks…at certain times.”
• If he wasn’t playing baseball, he would be making independent films.
• Tampa Bay is the best-kept secret in baseball, and not just because of the baseball team.

This guy needs to be in the HR derby because he is just DISGUSTING right now. Dude is a machine. The latest home run off Pettitte was seriously crushed.

Definitely on pace for a 50+ HR season. Not only can he crush, he can play a mean first base as well.
