Very fortunate to have gotten to see Pedro pitch in some rarefied air. Outside of baseball, he is also a great man, building a church, school, and homes in his hometown.

Priceless quote on the curse of the Bambino:
“I don’t believe in damn curses,” Pedro Martinez famously declared. “Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I’ll drill him in the ass.”
Pedro will always be remembered for pushing down old man Zimmerman.
It was easy for Pedro and Clemens to play the tough guy in the American League where THEY never had to face possible retaliation.
