BOSTON -- Dustin Pedroia played in just three games this season before his problematic left knee confined him to the dugout.
But Pedroia is by some distance the longest-tenured Red Sox player, the only member of the club with more than one World Series ring to his name -- and it was Pedroia who commanded the attention of the home clubhouse at Fenway Park late Monday night after an historic 6-2 win over the Orioles.

Pedroia didn't speak all that long.
