For those of us in Red Sox Nation who live outside of the Boston market and couldn’t watch on NESN, thanks for posting.

From a yankee fan, RESPECT what a player and man off the field. Legend

[@Killsnapz]

same here long time Yankee fan and nothing but respect for Dustin. The guy gave 100% on every play and respected the game and the rules. Enjoy retirement my friend.

[@ericlimasweml77tvera]

@@Killsnapz I want to say the same thing for Derek Jeter. As a Red Sox fan, I respect Jeter. He brought class to baseball and respected the game as well. If there was a HOF double play combo, Jeter & Pedroia would be it.

[@LunarPogo]

Agreed.

[@MikeySkywalker]

Man that’s high praise from Big Papi. If he could have one player to play with it would be Dustin. That’s such a nice thing to say.

[@mac7133]

papi is a high class human being that's for sure

[@MikeySkywalker]

@@mac7133 Agreed. I was at game 4 and 5 in 2004 ALCS, and game 2 of the 2013 ALCS. I won tickets all three times. The only time I've ever won anything at a raffle!

[@sandyfoster4055]

That's because for many of those years the two of them were linked as the faces of the club. I don't know how many times one or the other of them lifted the club when they stared defeat in the face. Papi knows that. You could tell that Ortiz was struggling for the right thing to say at first, but when he started speaking from his heart, he said all the right things, as he all out always did. The most touching part of this whole ceremony.

[@JEBossTon92]

No other way to say it: Nomar was why I found baseball, Papi was why I loved baseball, and Pedey made me - a 5’ 7” second baseman - believe I could play baseball. Hell, he was baseball. ❤️

[@t.o.mcconnell4001]

Back in 2005, I worked for the New Hampshire Fishercats. I was getting prepped by the team entrence when a young guy shorter than me walked up. He asked me "Hey, what's for lunch." I assumed he was the clubbie for the Portland Sea Dogs, so I politely answered his question, and told him when to come pick up the meals. Fast forward to the first inning. I look down at the field and what do I see. I see that the "clubbie" is playing short stop! I had met Dustin Pedroia.

[@CVBASEBALLCARDCOLLECTOR]

Sweet memory man!

[@frisco415]

Screw Manny Machado. He’s the reason Pedroia is retiring early. He’s such a nasty player. Thanks for all the memories you made for us Red Sox’s fan and baseball fans in general. If your a fan of the game you know what a guy he was. Happy retirement Champ 🍾 🎊

Pd was one of the hardest playing ball players in his days and will be sorely missed! Still can’t forgive a certain player for the dirty play that pretty much ended his career before his time!

[@tom7471]

One small consolation, that dirty player was seen screwing himself into the ground, striking out as a Dodger to a Chris Sale pitch to end the '18 World Series.

[@taekwanjake1080]

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

I'm a Red Sox fan in the Midwest, and I got to see Dustin Pedroia play on two consecutive days in July of 2016. It was my first time ever at Fenway. The first game was against the Giants; Pedroia didn't have a hit, but he did draw a walk. More importantly, he made a spectacular catch of a line drive in the fifth inning. The Red Sox started the game with a 8-0 lead, then saw it shrink to 8-7, and the Giants had the tying run on base in the fifth and sixth innings. That leaping catch kept the Sox in the lead, which they held, and they ended up winning 11-7. The next day, against the Twins, he scored three runs, drove in a run...and went 5-for-5 on the day. As a rule, I root for the team as a whole, not individual players. It's easier that way. But to see Pedroia get five hits in a game was spectacular. I would have been happy if it were any Red Sox player, quite honestly, but it is a little bit of poetic justice that it was him. I remember when he made a spectacular stop in the field on a Tejada ground ball during the Clay Buchholz no-hitter. He was never the most athletic guy, but his grit, and determination, and love of the game made him a fan favorite. He made us believe we could be out there, too.

[@danejurus69]

Every player should play like Dustin did. I have the utmost respect for this guy. Amazing baseball player and human being. Love, from a Reds fan.

[@spencedeezy]

Pedroia inspired me to be the best player I could be and get the most out of my 5’8 body. I’m forever grateful for his service to the game

[@michaelmccurry6279]

Fortunate enough to see him play when I was six years old, then again when I was thirteen. He was by far the smallest guy in the field, but no one gave more effort and had a better swing. When I saw him in Baltimore, many fans were in awe of all his defensive plays and how much he was impacting the game. He gave his heart to the team and now he can rest easy and look back on the success he had for many years to come.

[@michaelp1774]

Thanks Broski for such amazing years and memories. Definitely one of my favorite players!

[@metaldams78]

Pedey is the man. It was a pleasure following his career. That pinball play at first in Texas, the three HR game in Colorado, the series setting lead off home run in 2007 and just the attitude he brought to the field everyday. What a great ceremony, now retire his number.

God bless everyone.. everything fans love love love for Dustin pedroia..

[@isaacgraham5727]

I vividly remember watching Pedroia play for the AA Portland Sea Dogs, WAY back in 2005 - that was a special year because the infield consisted of Hanley Ramirez and Dustin Pedroia - in fact, Pedroia had been a shortstop up until that point in his career, and made the move to 2B that year specifically because he was sharing the infield with Hanley. Jon Lester and Jonathan Papelbon were the dual pitching aces that year, too - VERY special team. The amazing thing was that Pedroia was a better defender AND a better hitter than Hanley that year, one reason why the Sox traded Hanley and kept Pedey. He looked like a man surrounded by boys on that team, even though he was barely out of boyhood himself, then. I want to say he was ALREADY balding, even then xD
