As a Red Sox fan, I sometimes took for granted how awesome it was seeing Pedro take the mound every five days. Great piece. I long for the good, ol' days too.
I miss the character, the rough edges of yesteryear. No way Gary Sheffield or Eric Davis makes it to the majors today without some ‘guru’ trying to ‘fix’ their swings. The game feels so homogeneous. Three outcome hitters and throwers with no command. But I feel like the game is evolving again towards more situational hitting and emphasis on defense. But I think we are stuck with the polish
The thing even more impressive about Pedro is that he dominated in the steroid era...when a 4.00 ERA was pretty good.

nothing fires me up like pedro pointing at his head to the yankees dugout in ‘03
