Pedro Martinez a ‘Bostonian forever’

Boston may not have been their birthplace but if you asked any of the new inductees at the 11th annual New England Sports Museum’s ‘The Tradition’ at TD Garden last night, the Hub is certainly their second home — and No.1 in their hearts. “I have a pretty good idea but you never end up knowing what the fans in Boston say and it seems like everybody has a little bit of opinion that they want to express to you and I’m pretty sure that they, like me, were surprised that I left Boston and wanted to express what they meant to express to me at the time,” said former Red Sox [team stats] Continue reading >>>
