COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Pedro Martinez refuses to waste time with retaliatory shots against a national radio host, and there’s no need to debate players with steroid connections, but he has a powerful message to deliver Sunday afternoon.
Martinez, who vows to speak passionately from his heart and soul during his Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech, will focus on his love and commitment to his homeland of the Dominican Republic, hoping to forever eradicate any further stereotypes.
"If you ask how I want to be remembered, don’t remember me by the numbers I posted," he said.
