How many sons named Pedro did he have? What is this, George Foreman?

Borbon had been in hospice care at his home in Pharr, Texas, his son, Pedro, told The Associated Press in a phone interview. Borbon requested to be cremated without a memorial service, his son said.

Another son, Pedro Jr., pitched nine seasons in the majors.

When Manny Mota dies, we can post this: "I guess heaven needed to pinch-hit for Pedro Borbon."

Tough few weeks for Cincy, losing Bob Boozer, Jack Twyman and now Pedro.

RIP

When Manny Mota dies, we can post this: "I guess heaven needed to pinch-hit for Pedro Borbon."

And the strange thing is, they were never teammates.
