LIVE VIDEO FEED (Speeches begin at 1:30 pm)
Pedro Martinez will be
inducted into the Hall of Fame this afternoon in Cooperstown, New York:
I'm going to be able to actually showcase how we are, how our people feel. I hope that I can express with the moment how much I love, respect and treasure everything I did in baseball, America, the people, the fanbases, the teams, the organizations. I hope I can project the right image at the time I get to the podium. Hopefully, emotions won't [catch] me off guard and make me cut it short.
MLB.com has
a live stream beginning at 11 AM.
This afternoon,
NESN will be showing Pedro's innings from the following games:
12:00 PM - Red Sox at Tampa Bay Devil Rays, August 29, 2000
1:30 PM - Toronto Blue Jays at Red Sox, September 21, 1999
3:00 PM - New York Yankees at Red Sox, May 30, 2001
4:30 PM - Seattle Mariners at Red Sox, May 12, 1999
6:00 PM - Red Sox at Tampa Bay Devil Rays, August 29, 2000
(NESN being NESN, it screws up the listing and lists the 2000 game twice. With any luck, they will show a fifth game at 6 PM.)
Pedro goes into the HoF on Sandra Bullock's birthday! Amazing!

I'm not much for W-L record, but his mark of 117-37 in Boston is unreal.
ReplyDeleteGreat, just great. A 75.9% winning percentage is nothing to sneeze at, that's three of of every four games he pitched for us he won. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnd on October 27, 2004, the church bells, too."
