| Pedro Martinez is widely regarded as one of the best and most feared pitchers in the MLB. With a pair of fastballs, wicked change, soft scroogie, cutter, slider and two curves, and the ability to alter his arm angle and release point, Martinez can make seasoned hitters look like rookies even without his best stuff. This 3-time Cy Young Award winner and 6-time All Star helped lead the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title since 1918 in 2004, forming a lethal 1-2 punch with Curt Schilling at the top of the Red Sox's rotation. Following the season, he signed a lucrative contract with the New York Mets and continues to dominate in the NL, earning another all-star birth and the adoration of Mets fans everywhere. This framed 16x20 photo that captures his first pitch as a New York Met is signed by Martinez and comes with a certificate of authenticity. |
