Perfect example of our relationship... Big bro-Lil bro you taught me things life itself would've not been able to teach me without me paying the right price and you didn't have to do it you did it out of love. I'm so proud to be able to call you my friend right now that I can go on and on for days so I'm gonna try to keep it simple! Congratulations big bro you will forever be one of my biggest inspirations, my idol!! || Esta foto es el ejemplo perfecto de nuestra relación... Hermano mayor-hermano menor. Me enseñaste cosas que ni la vida misma me hubiese enseñado al menos que yo pagara el precio y no tenias que hacerlo lo hiciste por amor y bondad. Me siento tan orgulloso de poder llamarte mi amigo en este momento que podría seguir escribiendo aquí por días pero tratare de hacerlo simple! Felicidades hermano mayor siempre serás una de mis mas grandes inspiraciones, mi ídolo!! #PedroElGrande #HallOfFame #CoopersTown #InmortalDelBeisbol

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy had a message for anyone who might have left Martinez off his or her ballot.

But the best tweet came from Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, who shared an extremely bromantic photo of the two of them.
