Pedro Martinez

I understand business and understand the ugly face of baseball, which is the business part of baseball.

My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.

My first ball I ever got from a Big League player I actually got to purchase in Dodger Stadium in a silent auction, was Reggie Jackson.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

Have you ever been offered a job by a poor person? No one has.
