Because I didn’t have the exact words, I felt like they were my daddy right now…that was the terminology I used based on where I played in the winter league. “That’s what we say in the winter league. “… In the Dominican during the winter league, when someone has your number…in the Dominican, when you can’t beat them you normally say “who’s your dad?,”” Martinez wrote. So, why exactly did Martinez refer to the Bronx Bombers as his “daddy?” And how could they not? The Hall of Famer infamously called the Yankees his “daddy” during the 2004 American League Championship Series before Boston went on to win its first World Series title in 86 years.īut before the “Curse of the Bambino” was broken, Martinez was taunted with chants of “Who’s your daddy?” when he was on the mound at Yankee Stadium. Of course, many of Martinez’s memories that are engrained in the brains of Sox fans involve the Yankees.
Martinez, who spent seven seasons as a member of the Boston Red Sox, joined Bleacher Report for an “ ask me anything,” where fans asked the legend everything from who he’d want to strike out (New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge), to his favorite Manny Ramirez moment (him cutting off Johnny Damon’s outfield throw). But what were some his the former pitcher’s favorite moments from his time in the league? Major League Baseball fans likely have a plethora of memories of Pedro Martinez during his playing days.
