"Red Sox fun pack Dustin Pedroia said don't read too much into that thing he does with his eyes before he steps up to the plate.

"My eyes always water and I clear them to make sure that the I can see the ball good," Pedie told the Track.

That's it? It's not some superstitious ritual like former Sox slugger Nomar Garciaparra's unstrap- restrap-unstrap-restrap batting gloves routine?

"Nah, it's not like what he does," said the infielder, who we caught up with on the set of his Vita Coco TV shoot on Boston Common. "There was a whole lot of things going on there. I'm just trying to clear my eyes and unleash the fury."

And, of course, the Laser Show . . .

OK, so Pedroia's not OCD, but maybe he's ADD — at least on game days. Because once the umpire yells "Play Ball!" he can't settle down — even during a rain delay.

"Some guys play cards, some guys watch videos, some guys hit more, some guys take a nap, some guys eat," he revealed. "But I have a lot of energy. If I play cards it's for five minutes and then I run around and do something else.""
