From the curse of the Bambino to a run of World Series wins that rivaled the powerhouse New York Yankees. In July of 2015, the Boston Red Sox are going to make history by retiring the number of a pitcher for the very first time.

On July 28, 2015, the Red Sox will honor their beloved Pedro Martinez by retiring his number 45 in front of a backed house. In the seven years that Pedro Martinez played with the Boston Red Sox, he was in four All Star Games, won two Cy Young awards, and posted a blistering 2.52 ERA. His first year of eligibility into the Hall of Fame, he had a staggering 91% of the vote easily put him through.

Pedro is definitely a favorite with Brin Reifler, fearless in his efforts to fight the Yankees at will, and post more wins against their rivals. Since he left the Boston Red Sox in 2009, no other player has ever worn the number 45 on their uniform. No, it is assured that no other player in Red Sox history will ever wear the number as it gets hung on the great green monster in the outfield for adoring fans to see for decades to come. It will be a very emotional night for everyone in attendance this July, as Pedro is expected to give yet another memorable speech.
