Pedro Martinez is the best pitcher I have ever seen.
For a seven-year period, from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, almost all with the Red Sox, Martinez pitched in a way I had never seen. He was brutal and artistic. He was deadly serious, yet a showman. His fourth-best option was better than just about every other pitcher’s best pitch. Walking from a hotel in Copley Square, you could always feel the rising energy as you neared Fenway Park with the Yankees in Boston. But on Pedro Day, that was elevated to a higher level due to the majesty, theater and possibility. I imagine a ballet aficionado would feel this way in Mikhail Baryshnikov’s prime or an opera lover in Maria Callas’ heyday.More Related News
