COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Pedro Martinez dusted a few batters during his 18-year career.
He hit batters 141 times he hit opposing hitters and once pushed New York Yankees coach Don Zimmer to the ground as benches cleared during the 2003 American League Championship Series.
Once after a game against the Yankees in 2001 he said: “Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I’ll drill Babe Ruth.”
So, what kind of a high, hard one would Martinez, the second player from the Dominican Republic elected to the Hall of Fame, unleash under the chin of ESPN’s Colin Cowherd?
