Hard to beat Pedroia as a ball player, but he’s an easy out playing cribbage

BOSTON — Dustin Pedroia is a winner on the field. He has earned that reputation through his college and professional career.
But as a cribbage player he has a lot of work to do.
Yesterday morning Pedroia arrived, got dressed in his T-shirt and shorts, and made a visit to the manager’s office.
Pedroia and Terry Francona have a daily cribbage match and, even though it’s the postseason, the routine hasn’t changed.
Nor has the result.
Once again, Pedroia lost to Francona, who has good-naturedly crowed every now and then about his ability to dominate Pedroia in cribbage.
“I got my rear end kicked,” said Pedroia with a smile.
