Dustin Pedroia must be living every boy’s baseball dream:

play for a major league team: check - Boston Red Sox

win the World Series: check - home runs included

win Rookie of the Year: check - 24 of the 28 first place votes

“…”Everyone doubted me at every level I’ve been to, you know, saying I’m too small, I’m not fast enough, my arm’s not strong enough,” Pedroia said. “There’s a lot of people that have stuck by me and, you know, knew deep down in that there’s something about me that makes me a winning baseball player.”

Congratulations to Dustin Pedroia. There is no doubt now.
