Dustin Pedroia feels like the first professional athlete I’ve ever personally chased out of Major League Baseball using mental energy, and it feels good, Yankees fans.

Because, for as long as his balky knees allowed me to, I have fervently despised this man.

If Pedroia’s your enemy, you hate him.
