Born To Play - Dustin Pedroia

At some point this summer I read Dustin Pedroia's book Born To Play, My Life In The Game and I thought "I should review this for the old blog. Now I'm not going to write too much because to be honest it wasn't that great a book. It was exactly what you would expect it to be: ghost-written, mostly stuff you already knew if you have an above average interest in the Boston Red Sox, with the occasional interesting tidbit thrown in here and there. The stuff about him growing up, mostly his time in high school and college was pretty good, and occasionally he had some insight to offer on some of the other beloved Sox players (the scene where Jon Lester finds out that he has cancer is especially poignant). If you really like the Red Sox, then you'll probably enjoy reading this book. If you don't like the Red Sox, then I can almost guarantee that you won't at all.

Now Greg over at Confounded Fret Buzz already posted the now infamous MLB The Show commercial, so I thought I'd post another of my favorite Pedroia commercials:
