I met Pedro at a hospital in Los Angeles. My son had a heart defect and at the age of seven he had a surgery and his life was a 50-50 chance. A friend of ours wrote a letter to the Dodgers and asked for a ball to be signed...maybe it would give my son the extra strength to pull through. I received a call from the head of PR for the Dodgers asking if it would be okay for a couple of guys to come see him after the surgery. Pedro and Ron Roenicke came to the hospital to help give my son the strength to live. My son is now 35 years old. Pedro...you had a great career and we followed every pitch that you made. That's nice but what you did for Jeff makes you a hero.
Wow! What a story and thank God your son is still around! Pedro is a class act for sure, always spent extra time with the fans when he was with the Mets
Martinez was the best pitcher I have ever seen in person. Yes, his fastball was electric and reached 100 a few times, while also moving off to the side. But it was his changeup that was absolutely disgusting to hitters and almost unhittable after his fastball. Just watch that changeup. No one in the game today has anything close to it.
As a Yankee fan we owned him in the playoffs , he was still nasty and hated seeing him on the mound. He’s an amazing pitcher and very grateful person found great respect for him after listening to his interview with Mike Francesca. He cleared up so many things I didn’t like bout him.
38:15 Esa predicción se cumplió! Hace dos años Pedro dijo que Valdimir Guerrero estaría ahí, y ahora Vladimir Guerrero sera parte de la Clase 2018 del Salón de la Fama.
Para mí Pedro fue mucho mejor que Juan Marichal y me disculpan pero Pedro jugo béisbol en el tiempo donde estaban de moda los esteroides y estaban los bateadores más temidos como: Sammy Sosa, barry bonds, mike maguayer entre otros y aún así llevo junto a su equipo a ganar la serie mundial
+La verdad duele cause hitting is awful, not cause he's good, he got in cause he faced bonds, sosa, mcgwire, walker, canseco, and others in the steroid era. Today's hitters are way below them
+slapshot68 but you contradicting yourself read your first comment....If Pedro dominated the steroid era he will eat this era for breakfast any day of the week

Yankees also had the biggest collapse in sports history versus Pedro and Red Sox
Excelente omenaje a pedro

If Pedro pitched in today's MLB, he wouldn't be in the hall, pitching in the steroid era impressed the voters. Today hitting is terrible
+slapshot68 What a retarded comment. Did you ever see him pitch? He would dominate in any era. You obviously know nothing about power pitchers.
+mjrd1978 And hell, hitting in this post-steriod era is so bad he'd probably done even better. XD
Your point only prove that if he pitches in today's game he would be even better
+La verdad duele cause hitting is awful, not cause he's good, he got in cause he faced bonds, sosa, mcgwire, walker, canseco, and others in the steroid era. Today's hitters are way below them
