Pedro Martínez was a dominant pitcher who won three Cy Young Awards and led the AL in ERA, WHIP and strikeouts in 2000. He also helped the Red Sox end their World Series drought in 2004 and the Mets reach the NLCS in 2006.
He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015 in his first year of eligibility, joining Juan Marichal as the second Dominican to be enshrined; his number (45) was retired by the Red Sox in a ceremony held two days after his Hall induction.
An eight-time All-Star, Martinez finished his 18-year big league career with the New York Mets (2005 to 2008) and the Philadelphia Phillies (2009). In all, he recorded 219 wins, a 2.93 ERA and is one of four pitchers to complete their career with more than 3,000 strikeouts (3,154) and less than 1,000 walks (760).

- Bullpen dominance. Oct. 11, 1999. Martinez seemed capable of doing anything during this season, and he reinforced that notion by pitching six no-hit innings against Cleveland as the Red Sox captured the Game 5 clincher of an AL Division Series, 12-8.
- Awards controversy. 1999. Martinez won the AL Cy Young Award voting, but that wasn't an issue. His 23-4 record, among other statistics, made him a legitimate AL Most Valuable Player Award candidate.
