When Celtics forward Al Horford met pitching ace Pedro Martinez, he never thought the two would one day link up in the same sports market.
“I never dreamed I would be in this Boston sports circle,” Horford said Friday at Martinez’s “Feast with 45,” an event featuring dishes from 45 local chefs to benefit the Pedro Martinez Charity.
Horford said he first met Martinez when he was 10 or 11 years old because his mother, Arelis Reynoso, interviewed the pitcher as a sports reporter in the Dominican Republic. At the time, Martinez was a member of the Montreal Expos.
