Did anyone tune into the Studio 42 (Bob Costas special) with Pedro Martinez just now? I forgot all about it, and put it on and Pedro is discussing that when he was younger, trying to come to the states, he couldn't because he lacked a phone and 420 pesos (which would equal about $8 today). He made it his word to help kids that were in his position when he finally made it, and went on to say how he has brought people to the states to better their education, surgeries, etc. He never mentioned it during his playing days because he was too busy and didn't feel it was the right time to do so.
He said his biggest regret was the Zimmer incident. Way to own up there.
I hate Pedro, the Red Sox (for obvious reasons), but other than that, he seems like a funny, great clubhouse guy to be around. Although, it was pretty sweet winning the WS in '09 against him
