As??? como lo hizo conmigo en el inicio de mi carrera, lo har??? con todo el que lea este libro". -- VLADIMIR GUERRERO , Expelotero dominicano de Grandes Ligas, Jugador M???s Valioso de la Liga Americana en 2004, miembro del Sal???n de la Fama Nacional del B???isbol de Estados Unidos y del Sal???n de la Fama del B???isbol Canadiense "Hay muy poco que este campe???n de la Serie Mundial no cuenta en este libro; se expande sobre cualquier tema, y ofrece una mirada reveladora de una carrera llamativa...

Pedro Martinez entered the big leagues a scrawny power pitcher with a lightning arm who they said wasn't "durable" enough, who they said was a punk. Yet Martinez willed himself to become one of the most intimidating pitchers to have ever played the game, an eight-time All-Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner, World Series champion, and Hall of Famer. In Pedro , the always colorful pitcher opens up to tell his remarkable story. From his days in the minor leagues clawing for respect; to his early days in lonely Montreal; to his legendary run with the Red Sox when, start after start, he dazzled with his pitching genius; to his twilight years on the mound as he put the finishing touches on a body of work that made him an icon, this memoir by one of baseball's most enigmatic figures will entertain and inspire generations of fans to come. " Pedro the book is as smart, as funny, and as diva-esque as Pedro the pitcher . . . Buy the book. Read the book. Celebrate a golden era in Boston baseball." -- Boston Globe "There is little the eight-time All-Star holds back about any subject as he offers a revealing look at a colorful career . . . The intimate details Martinez offers up from both inside and outside the clubhouse make the book a winner." -- Washington Post "This is the beauty of this book, the machinations of a modern pitcher's mind . . . Knowing and gritty, this memoir should've been printed on rawhide." -- Los Angeles Times
