Red Sox fan here. I did get to see Pedro Martinez pitch a couple decades ago, but I happened to pick a day when he had to be pulled after 5 innings because his arm/shoulder was balking. He was a very frail pitcher.
Best game I ever went to was when the Red Sox played the Mariners. The Mariners had a great ballclub back then, but they didn't have much of a bullpen. It was a crazy game; Ken Griffey Jr surprised everybody by trying to bunt for a base hit. By the end of the game, the Sox were down something like 5-4 but Nomar Garciappara came up with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th and hit a grand slam. We all chanted "MVP! MVP!" as he rounded the bases. It was probably 1998.
