About this product
Product Information
A bold, no-holds-barred memoir from one of the most dominant and dynamic pitchers to ever play the game Before Pedro Martinez was the eight-time All Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner, and World Series champion, before stadiums full of fans chanted his name, he was just a little kid from the Dominican Republic who sat under a mango tree and dreamed of playing pro ball. Now in Pedro , the charismatic and always colorful pitcher opens up for the first time to tell his remarkable story. Martinez entered the big leagues a scrawny power pitcher with a lightning arm who they said wasn't "durable" enough, who they said was a punk. But what they underestimated about Pedro Martinez was the intensity of the fire inside. Like no one before or since, Martinez willed himself to become one of the most intimidating pitchers to have ever played the game. In Pedro we relive it all in Technicolor brightness, from his hardscrabble days in the minor leagues clawing for respect; to his early days in lonely Montreal, where he first struggled with the reputation of being a headhunter; to his legendary run with the Red Sox when start after start he dazzled with his pitching genius; to his twilight years on the mound as he put the finishing touches on a body of work that made him an icon. Bold, outspoken, intimate in its details, and grand in ego and ambition, this new memoir by one of baseball's most enigmatic figures will entertain and inspire generations of fans to come.

Reviews
"This is the beauty of this book, the machinations of a modern pitcher's mind . . . There is delicious inside-baseball material here . . . Boston fans, who know Martinez helped turn around their franchise, will certainly buy this book as a totem to one of the magic moments in baseball history: their 2004 title. So, too, should any true fan of the game. Knowing and gritty, this memoir should've been printed on rawhide." -- Los Angeles Times "There is little the eight-time all-star holds back about any subject as he offers a revealing look at a colorful career. . . 'Pedro' is an easy read, one that you don't have to be an ardent seamhead to enjoy. . . The intimate details Martinez offers up from both inside and outside the clubhouse make the book a winner." -- Washington Post "Brightly illuminates Martinez's many facets . . . The book serves as a significant exception to the case that David Foster Wallace made, in the Philadelphia Inquirer , more than two decades ago, against the 'the sports-star-'with'-somebody autobiography.'" - The New Yorker "A treat for anyone who loved watching Mr. Martinez pitch or who loves the craft of pitching." - The Wall Street Journal "A book much-awaited by Red Sox fans fully delivers . . . Very rewarding." - The Boston Globe "'Pedro' the book is as smart, as funny, and as diva-esque as Pedro the pitcher . . . It's all great . . . Buy the book. Read the book. Celebrate a golden era in Boston baseball." - Dan Shaughnessy, The Boston Globe "The volatile Hall of Fame pitching ace has just published a trash-talking, score-settling but disarmingly emotional memoir, Pedro , a book sure to make the reading list of any avid baseball fan . . . No question, this delicious summer read is guaranteed fodder for talk radio, because the always outspoken and opinionated Pedro lets it fly on the page with the same abandon he once showed on the mound." - The Daily Beast "Well worth the read, an amazing baseball story." - Providence Journal, "This is the beauty of this book, the machinations of a modern pitcher's mind . . .
