Pedro Martinez is a first ballot Hall of Famer, in my book. I'm not sure if any pitcher will ever have consecutive seasons that compare to his level of dominance in 1999 and 2000. That being said, it sounds like he might be a little delusional.
“I don’t know if you realize this, I might be at times the most influential player that ever stepped in Yankee Stadium. I can honestly say that. I have all the respect in the world for the way they enjoy being fans. Sometimes they might be giving you the middle finger, just like they will be cursing you and telling you what color underwear you’re wearing. But at the end of the day, they’re just great fans that want to see the team win. I don’t have any problem with that.”
Pedro's great, and he has even been impressive this year, but come on now... this is just starting to get ridiculous.
We'll see if this works to get the Yankees off their game tonight, but I kinda doubt it.
