Dustin Pedroia joins Section 10 for the first time ever in the same week that he announced his retirement after a phenomenal career with the Boston Red Sox. Today with Pedey we talk when he knew it was time to call it quits, how much trouble he had trying to recover from surgeries, physically not being able to do a one-game sendoff like David Wright did with the Mets, not caring enough to use social media, how much teammates appreciated his intense preparation over the years, a hilarious story from 2013 when Larry Lucchino lost a bet and had to buy Pedroia a brand new car, why he feels bad for Jeff Francis after roasting him during the 2007 World Series, if he thinks he should have his number retired in Boston, who would be on the receiving end of his first pitch on a Pedey Day at Fenway, revisiting the story of David Ortiz not knowing his name was Dustin with an added element where Pedey felt like he always had to do David's home work on pitchers, why the 2007 team doesn't get enough credit, Bobby Valentine actually not being that bad, an injury people didn't know he went through in 2013, how much Boston Strong meant to that team, full breakdowns of the Papi ALCS grand slam and World Series speech, behind the scenes for that brutal last game of the 2011 season, how much his teammates had his back in 2018, riding Brock to go for the cycle in Yankee Stadium, and close with a very touching thank you to all Red Sox fans. After the Pedroia interview we break down his career, why his number needs to be retired, and why we will never see anyone like him again on the Red Sox. Enjoy!.
