Pedro Martinez Drops Video Of Postseason Dominance That Will Fire Up Red Sox Fans
Have you given up on the Boston Red Sox? Pedro Martinez hasn’t. The Hall of Fame pitcher and former Red Sox starter was part of some pretty amazing postseason moments for the club that most fans probably will never forget.
