Pedro’s return - what can I say? I watched the NESN press conference where he talked about the Sox being family… man, no one ‘got’ playing for Boston like Pedro did.
“I’ll say the atmosphere on the field will be my biggest legacy,” Martínez said. ``It was not just the mix of the players, but of the fans. It’s like a good bar. When it opens, it’s more fun than any other place. That was the atmosphere in Boston.
“In the seven years I was here the ballpark took on a different spin. The Dominican flags. The K crews. It was so much fun. The music. The people. The hype. The interest. I feel the atmosphere changed a lot. Numbers-wise, I don’t have to talk about that. I didn’t have to do anything extra.” (Link)
And yeah, he may be a Met now, but I’m hoping one day #45 joins 941827…
