Speaking with Jackson Merrill, a fan of the Red Sox, they discuss Pedroia's fiery spirit and preparation. Betts describes how Pedroia would arrive early to games and have a relentless commitment to his performance, showcasing the drive that made him an MVP in 2008. Merrill expresses admiration for Pedroia’s relatability, illustrating the impact Pedroia had on younger players.
Dustin Pedroia, he was my guy. Because he was a little grinder, and I was small in high school, so I kind of related to him.
He would get going, man. He's got fire in him, so yes he would get to the field really early.
I don't remember a day that he didn't have fire in him, and it was amazing to see.
He always said he would get ready just in case they started the game early.
