Ahh, Pedro. What can I say. Here's his immortal '99 All-Star game at Fenway:
Also from 1999, the time he struck out 17 Yankees (while allowing just one hit):
I shared a third remarkable outing from that season--the six innings of perfect relief while injured against the Indians in the playoffs--back in January when Pedro was voted into the Hall of Fame.
One other Pedro performance that stands out in my memory is a four-hit, nine-strikeout shutout of the Yankees on May 28, 2000. Martinez out-dueled Roger Clemens, who held Boston scoreless for eight innings until Trot Nixon hit a two-run homer in the ninth. It was the first of many, many baseball games I've watched at the Wharf Pub in my life.
