The MLB Network offered a particularly entertaining exchange between guest studio host Kevin Millar and Dustin Pedroia about the rightful guardian of No. 15 in Red Sox lore.
Kevin Millar: I tell you what, I have a card here with a long list. You’ve been in the league for two years. You’ve been Rookie of the Year, MVP, won a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, you’re on the cover of MLB ‘09: The Show, you started the All-Star Game, you’ve won a title, and you’re wearing my number. What’s left?
Dustin Pedroia: The most impressive thing out of all that stuff is wearing your number, for sure. I remember last year, we were going to a game and I saw this elderly lady wearing No. 15. I thought, ‘That’s pretty sweet.’ Then I looked up closer and it said Millar on the back, and I almost threw up a little bit. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? That was, like, 1,000 years ago.’ It was hilarious.
