Thanks, Pedro.
Thanks for 1999 and 2000. The two best seasons I've ever seen pitched. Thanks for 2002 and 2003, two other exceptional years. And 1998, too.
Thanks for piling up the strikeouts. Thanks for that awesome changeup, that hard roundhouse curve, and that wonderful fastball.
Thanks for twirling around in the air swinging your leg around on a 2-strike pitch - it reminded me of Bob Gibson.
Thanks for working quickly. Thanks for the jheri curl and the loose cannon mouth that made me laugh more than once.
Thanks for hanging out with Ted Williams after the All Star Game.
Thanks for coming out in Game 7 and pitching. Even if you didn't pitch well, it showed balls to the Yankees that many men would never attempt.
Thanks for all the wonderful playoff games you pitched. Game 5 in 1999. Game 3 in 1999. Game 5 in 2003. Game 2 of 2004 (ALDS). Game 3 of 2004.
