One night this summer, I met Pedro Martínez at MLB Network headquarters in New Jersey. “Welcome to my office!” Martínez said.
I started laughing. The idea of Pedro Martínez working out of an office seems so … well, not Pedro Martínez, who always talks about going fishing and escaping to off-the-grid spots he calls “the boonies.” But an office is useful, Martínez said.

Red Sox legend Pedro Martinez signed autographs and took pictures Friday night at his Pedro Martinez Foundation Gala at the Mandarin Oriental in Boston.
The event was the place to be, with several Red Sox players in attendance fresh off of the team’s World Series win.
“It is exciting but I’m tired, I’m so tired! Without a doubt it’s been exciting, but my God it takes a toll on you after a while,” said Martinez, who was so thankful for the win, and everyone supporting his charity.
