Praise for Pedey!

Normally, you get a review of the latest Sox game. Today, it's about praise for The Dustman--from a most unlikely source! Call him Pedey, call him The Dustman; whatever you prefer, he's Dustin Pedroia and he's the BEST second sacker in the game today. Yes, there are other 2b's who'll be on the wall in Cooperstown that are playing today, Cano among them. But, Dusty's the best! And from an entirely unexpected source, more praise of that type. Mariano Rivera, yes that Mariano Rivera, came out in his soon to be published memoir and said if her were picking his second baseman, the one he'd most definitely want before any other is our guy, Pedey! Asked about his former teammate, Cano, he said that he's good, but that Mo isn't sure about his commitment to winning. On the other hand, he said no-one has a stronger passion for winning, no matter the circumstances than our guy. Mo says, "you know that you'll get total attention to trying to win for all 27 outs." What more can be said? Always thought Mo was one of the very few members of the Evil Empire who was not only a good player, but also a true sportsman and gentleman.
