Pedro Martinez is, perhaps, my favorite pitcher of all-time. He was as dominant as any hurler I have ever seen. However, Pedro seems intent on making himself look bad this off-season. The newest member of the New York Mets went off about a number of Boston subjects. Here is the si.com link.
Pedro sounds more like a pouting child than anything else. He typifies what most fans hate about the modern athlete, baseball players in particular. He equates respect to cash. His skills fade, but he demands the same money (respect) as he got at the peak of his ability. He refuses to embrace a secondary role, in spite of the fact doing so just brought him and Boston a championship. Is it any wonder Red Sox management decide not to keep Pedro?
