You just can't describe the passion and emotional feeling at Fenway when Pedro pitched against the Yankees. Truly Electric.

Congrats to one of the best to ever take the mound.

I'm finally going to Cooperstown. Rain or shine. Submitting PTO request today. Can't miss Pedro's speech in person. A good time will be had by all.

He's not going to be inducted wearing a NY Mets cap, that's for sure. Not exactly his best years.

Is he still rolling around the DR in his canary-yellow Lamborghini, or did he purchase a vehicle more suited to typical Dominican roads, like an army-issue tank?

The DR has send a lot of great baseball players to the "BIGS", in the case of "Pedro" they also sent a Great Man!!!!!!
And "Big Papi" too!!!!!!
It is not a coincidence that they both were "Media Rojas"!!!!!!!

"Wait'll NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I cringed when I heard him an interview today. Despite his years in the states and his tremendous wealth he has failed to improve as a person. His English was absolutely awful and he showed no humility. Unlike the humble Smoltz and Biggio who spoke of the honor of being nominated, Pedro only talked about himself and how much he deserved it for being "courageous" and doing things the "right way". It seemed like he had never left Managuayabo.

When you're 219-100 with a lifetime WHIP of 1.054, you don't need to be humble. And his English is not horrible; it's heavily accented, but for an athlete, he's pretty articulate. He did do it himself, against some pretty heavy odds (he's not that big, etc.) and he did do it the right way and he was/is extremely courageous. And let us not forget his post-baseball work, right here in the DR: https://www.facebook.com/fundacionpedromartinezyhnos

Disagree with me on anything else and I'll bend over and take it. But not Pedro. Oh no. Not Pedro.

A lot can happen after the All Star Break. I am sorry that the Aruban Prince didn't get sent, but I'm watching it now,and is BrockHolt like perfect? Almost like Redford in "The Natural?"
