So Tom Werner flew into New York to make passionate pre-show love to Katie Couric give the World Series rings to Pedro and Mientkiewicz, posing in that pic like Doiby Dickles and the Green Lantern:
“To actually win it for that city and for that team after so many years, and that’s the thing that really excites me the most,” a touched Martinez said.
“To be part of a team that was that special, it’s irreplaceable,” he said.
Martinez said he probably won’t wear the ring much because his fingers are skinny and ugly.

Sadly, the way the circus seems to work, that last self-mocking statement will probably get spun into “PEDRO DOESN’T WANT TO WEAR HIS RING”. But really nice to see them get their rings, and good of Werner to do the job.
Yeah, that sure looks like one upset angry player.
