Never see the guy without a smile other than on the mound. Pedro is a gift that grew up throwing anything round in such poverty…I think that he would have played this game just for a suppy of clean drinking water and a tomato sanwhich. One of your millions’s of fans…Thank you sir.

Most Met fans would look at his career in New York and say he wasn’t worth the money but the truth is that his signing paved the way for our team to attract the stars it needed to complement Reyes and Wright. He is a first ballot Hall of Famer no doubt and I am so glad that I got to watch him pitch for us if even for a few years. I felt like he was a matador on the mound!

“Pedro went 32-23 with a 3.88 ERA in 79 career starts with the Mets from 2005-2008.”

They were also Jose’s best years. Is there a connection for the Mets?

Cost himself a year of hall of fame voting by not doing it when his career was officially done.

Best pitcher in his prime I ever saw.
