While he didn't start or finish his amazing career in Boston, Pedro Martinez will always be remembered as a Red Sox.  The small,skinny pitcher from the Dominican Republic somehow threw the ball with amazing velocity and still managed to stay healthy until late in his career.  On average during his 18 year career in the MLB, Pedro pitched an average of 217 inning per season.  Before becoming a Red Sox, Pedro completed 13 of the 31 games he started in 1997 as a member of the now defunct Montreal Expos.  In all he threw 46 complete games during his career.

While you can still see Pedro talking about baseball on tv, today was a day to see him at Fenway once again.  While he wasn't there to throw the ball, he was there to throw a party.  Today was his 3rd annual Feast with 45. As he has been doing since 1998, Pedro is giving back to the community he grew up in.  The Pedro Martinez Foundation was created to benefit the children of the Dominican Republic

According to the foundation's website the following mission and philosophy are what drives their approach.

Our Mission:  We positively impact society by investing in the holistic care of at risk youth and their families through support and education. 

Philosophy:  Providing the right base for children as a foundation for healthy growth empowers them to rise up and become healthy contributors to their communities, ending the cycle of disadvantage and poverty.

With those thoughts in mind and the fun that was had by all in attendance, I strongly suggest you make it to the 4th annual Feast with 45 in 2020.  If you want to keep up with events similar to this, please check out TimeOut4Charity.

Boston is really the best place for all sports fans. Boston is a place where all the esteemed athletes have come from. As a basketball fan myself, I am really impressed by their NBA team, the Boston Celtics. Let's do a quick rundown of their roster. First, they have a star in Kyrie Irving as their point guard, Jaylen Brown as their shooting guard, Jayson Tatum as their Small forward, Gordon Hayward as their stretch power forward, and Al Horford as their center.
