Pedro Martínez nos cuenta sobre su vida y carrera, desde una niñez pobre en República Dominicana hasta convertirse en uno de los mejores lanzadores de todos los tiempos… y uno de los más intimidantes.
Con el humor pintoresco que lo caracteriza, Pedro Martínez cuenta su extraordinaria historia: desde sus días en las ligas menores esforzándose por ganarse el respeto de sus compañeros y sus primeros días en el solitario Montreal, hasta su legendaria carrera con los Red Sox de Boston.
Estas memorias de una de las figuras más enigmáticas y emblemáticas del béisbol inspirarán a generaciones de fanáticos.
From the eight-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young Award–winning pitcher, a bold, no-holds-barred memoir of his career, from his hardscrabble upbringing in the Dominican Republic to becoming one of the greatest pitchers of all time.
Pedro 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. Yet Martinez willed himself to become one of the most intimidating pitchers to have ever played the game, an eight-time All-Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner, World Series champion, and Hall of Famer.
In Pedro, the always colorful pitcher opens up to tell his remarkable story. From his days in the minor leagues clawing for respect; to his early days in lonely Montreal; 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, this memoir by one of baseball’s most enigmatic figures will entertain and inspire generations of fans to come.
