Dustin Pedroia retires

[sb1]

Thank you Pedey. Legend.

 

[Boston Boxer]

great member of the organization. Hope he comes back in a coaching/advisor role.

Was expected. He was the Julian Edelman/Troy Brown of rhe Red Sox.
Toughness. Clutch. Always exceeded
expectations. Loved watching him play.

Pedey played the game right. True dirt dog. He'll be missed.

Red Sox.... Red Sox.... that term sounds familiar but I am having difficulty placing it.....

 

[RobertWeathers]

I hope so.

I hate Sam Kennedy. The Johnny Ola for the Red Sox.

Pedroia was always a scrapper. Great Red Sox player. Unfortunately his body started breaking down.

Enjoy your well deserved retirement.

Is it wrong that I thought he was already retired? I can't remember him playing in about four or five years.

Loved the gritty play and maximum effort.

Red Sox, heart and soul.

Once a Red Sox, always a Red Sox. I remember the diving stop to preserve Buchholz’s no-no. Incredible play ... punctuated by a “F**k yeah!”as Pedroia saw the throw beat the runner at first.

Unfortunately his body started breaking down.

Machado gave him a hand with that. (Well, a foot anyway)

It’s the day of Dustins. Dustin Diamond dies and Dustin Pedroia retires.

It’s the day of Dustins. Dustin Diamond dies and Dustin Pedroia retires.

And Pedroia was “Dustin Diamond”. Spooky ...

Great player, but it was time. Injuries did him in these last 3 years. Good luck in retirement Pedy!

I loved his remark to the security guard who didn't think he was a player. Pedroia’s tone-setting leadoff home run in Game 1 against Rockies lefty Jeff Francis, then his totally in character declaration the next day when a Coors Field security guard questioned whether he was really a player.

“Ask Jeff Francis who I am,” said Pedroia,

Dude's been retired in all but name for quite awhile now...
