The Flyby: The Hardest Goodbyes

What they said - Bosox lists a few players of great importance to Red Sox history before settling on Pedro Martinez as the player they had the hardest time saying goodbye to. Bosox gets real and talks about his own childhood, and the isolation they experienced as a result of race, expectations, and their interests conflicting with that of others. Once Pedro came to town, a lot of things changed for Bosox, as he began to realize that he could rise above a lot of the stigmas surrounding him and be great himself.
