Pedro Martinez pitches
Pedro from Jus' seat at Fenway.... I got into the park at 5:30, and tried to catch the sweep of the First base side stands all the way from the new "Budweiser" deck, past Pesky's pole, across the seats I sat in with my son Liam and the rest of his Mission Hill Little Leaguers and I've painted from many times before. Past first base and home plate, up and over the Sky Boxes, the sketching in took up until game time and it got colder and colder the early autumn night.
I called Jus ....When he gave me the chance to paint Pedro pitching I suddenly remembered another time. Great seats behind first base and I got a really great painting of the "Rocket" Roger Clemens. The next year he was gone.
we chuckled over the thought when we shared the nightgames' watercolors.
..........left a message. It's happened. two Hall of Famers!
