... Had to share this photo with you. We went to Red Sox Winter Weekend at Foxwoods, this past weekend. Matthew carried your book around all weekend, hoping to get Pedro to sign it. Matthew even used your book at a panel discussion, where he got up in front of a packed room (probably 300 people) by himself, and stepped to the microphone, asking Pedro how he went from "throwing rocks at mango trees to being one of the greatest pitchers of all time?".....not bad for an 8 year old!
Anyway, we came close to getting the book signed twice, and missed. However, upon checkout yesterday, who was also waiting for the valet to get a car for him??? Yup, Pedro! Matthew took the book over, and he very sweetly, signed the book. Was so nice! Way to end our weekend!!!!
And here's the photo of Matthew with his copy of Growing Up Pedro, signed on the opening endpapers, "Pedro Martinez, HOF 2015". So cool! Recognize the guy in the background? (hint: IT'S PEDRO MARTINEZ!!)
I also love this picture from earlier in the weekend, showing Matthew pulling off a brilliant Growing Up Pedro photobomb, right behind Pedro himself! Well done sir!
Thanks Matthew! Glad you had a fun weekend, and I'm so happy you finally got to meet Pedro.
