martinez, pedro

As boys in the Dominican Republic, brothers Pedro and Ramon Martinez threw rocks at the ripe fruit on mango trees. Eighteen years later, both were pitching for the Boston Red Sox..

Before Pedro Martinez pitched the Red Sox to a World Series championship, before he was named to the All-Star team eight times, before he won the Cy Young Award three times, he was a kid from a place called Manoguayabo in the Dominican Republic. Pedro loved baseball more than anything, and his older brother Ram??n was the best pitcher he'd ever seen. He dreamed of the day he and his brother could play together in the major leagues. This is the story of how that dream came true.
