Pedro gets a ring, Edwin leaves with familia, Manny shows some love
By Tab Bamford
Pedro gets a ring – and a badge
Pedro Martínez had a pretty good couple days if you follow him on Instagram. First, he got a badge.
Then, he got a ring.
We love Pedro’s message. “No matter what your story is, always be humble.”
Edwin with child
Edwin Encarnación had someone waiting for him Wednesday night after the game. Familia is everything.

We’re suckers for a good celebration, and this one looks like it was a lot of fun.
Pro Post of the Day
Manny Machado took part in a very special first pitch and then handed off an autographed bat to a young fan. We’re rooting for you! #CarterStrong
OTD
2012 – Oakland’s Bartolo Colon throws 38 consecutive strikes, the longest such streak since all pitches were first recorded in 1988, as the A’s shut out the Angels, 6-0.
2006 – Hanley Ramirez of the Marlins hits his first – and second – major league home runs in Florida’s 12-6 victory over Cincinnati.
1955 – Roberto Clemente‘s first major league home run is an inside-the-park shot off Giants southpaw Don Liddle that still traveled an estimated 440 to 450 feet.
Happy birthday!
