Ex-Red Sox Prospect Garin Cecchini Shares Awesome Dustin Pedroia Story
Pedroia always was dialed in
Dustin Pedroia was the embodiment of “I stay ready so I don’t have to get ready.”
The Red Sox legend announced his retirement Monday after a stellar career spent with Boston from start to finish.
Upon the announcement, praise came far and wide — David Ortiz, Terry Francona, Jonathan Papelbon, the list goes on and on. But one of the great anecdotes came from former Red Sox utility prospect Garin Cecchini.
The now-29-year-old played a total of 13 big league games (all for the Red Sox) in his career, 11 in 2014 and two in 2015.
During one of those call-ups, he was on the receiving end of a vintage Pedroia moment.
Great stuff.
Pedroia most certainly left a mark on the Red Sox organization, and it’s clear that he made an impression on fans, teammates and staff alike.
