Pedro Martinez shines in World Series.

I can hear the people in the Dominican Republic screaming at the TVs in the local colmados or bars. If the Red Sox win the World Series, there will be wild parties in the Dominican Republic. After the ALCS 6 people were injured by stray bullets from people celebrating in the streets.

If the World Series ends in 4 games, there is a good possibility that Manny Ramirez will be World Series MVP. That would mean that the MVPs from both ALCS and NLCS plus the World Series are Dominican players. As for league MVPs, Ramirez and Ortiz would certainly be in the running in the AL, but may cancel each other out a bit, Vladimir Guerrero would also be in the running, along with Sheffield from the Yanks.

This has got to be the best year ever for Dominican baseball players and the future looks pretty bright. Pedro has shown he is not "finished" and may get a change of scenery after this season as he explores free agency. I can see a Parade down the Malecon with Pedro as the grand marshal. . .. .I'd love to get down there to video tape that!
