Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. x, 261, [1] pages. Illustrations (most in color). DJ has slight wear and soiling. Dustin Luis Pedroia (born August 17, 1983) is an American baseball second baseman for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB). He is a four-time All-Star and an American League (AL) Most Valuable Player award winner, who has also received four Gold Glove Awards and a single Silver Slugger award. Pedroia was drafted by the Red Sox in 2004, and made his major league debut in 2006 before becoming a full-time player in the 2007 season, and winning the AL Rookie of the Year award. He contributed to two Red Sox World Series championships in 2007 and 2013, and he is the only player from the 2007 World Series team still with the club. Pedroia is an above-average hitter with a low strikeout rate and "a surprising amount of power", whose defense at second base has been significantly above-average. The inspirational story of Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia who defied his critics with hard work, relentless determination, and a looks-can-be-deceiving attitude to become one of the greatest players in the game today. Dustin Pedroia, at five feet seven inches and 170 pounds, is not the biggest, the strongest, or the fastest player in the game of baseball, but in just two years of major-league play he's become a Rookie of the Year, a Most Valuable Player, and a 2007 World Championship titleholder. Pedroia has proven that a good baseball player is more than size and statistics. He has spent his life overcoming the naysayers who believed he was too small and would never make it in the big leagues. Pedroia's love of the game and desire to win defines him as an athlete--but his dedication, his perseverance, and his monster swing have made him a beloved symbol of baseball.
