My oldest son and I watched one of those countdown shows on MLB the other night. Pedro Martinez in 2000 was rated the most dominant season ever for a pitcher. The numbers were amazing. Of special relevance were the differences between Pedro's numbers versus the league average for pitchers. This actually separated him from seasons of Gibson and Koufax. My son remembers Pedro circa 2004 and of course in the playoffs last year, but he does not remember the 99, 2000 Pedro that was as dominant a pitcher as you will ever see.
Jerry Remy says Pedro was his favorite he has ever seen. I have to agree. It seems to me that when Pedro wants to finish up once and for all it would be good to see him at Fenway again. What a showman, a Hall of Famer for sure in my eyes. A Red Sox cap will look good.
