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've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I was late to the Knicks. My dad was a big fan. But I first started watching baseball; I became a Red Sox fan. My dad was a Mets fan. I wanted to have my own team and league.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
