Early last season Dustin Pedroia ran into trouble with some residents of his hometown after an interview with Boston Magazine. The events got so out of control that his family received death threats.  Pedroia didn't let it bother him and he continues to give back to Woodland.  On January 30th he will be hosting a fundraiser for the restoration of the town's baseball field.  The 500 tickets for the event are already sold out showing that he is still very popular in his hometown.

... I dont blame him, speak your mind and dont be a kiss ass. I have nothing good to say about Phoenix. Local NEWS Channels always connect Arizona with anything else involved in the country or celebrities. I thought this one actor was hilarious, as the NEWS people got all pissed, he said how "Arizona is the worst chit hole hes ever been to". Scottsdale isnt all its cracked up to be. Ever look closly at a multi-million(5mil+) dollar house? Looks nice but its the worst construction you can imagine built by the lowest paid people in state. I read Pedroia's story until the writter went all crazy talking about "scrappy", that was annoying, kinda like my rants, sometimes.
