Pearce is one of my favorite stories from his era, an-oft-injured AAAA-type who bounced up and down before an out-of-nowhere breakout at age 31 that took him from on-his-way-out to set for life financially, followed by an improbable, late career World Series MVP award at age 35.
I was in the stands with my dad for game 5 and watched him hit two home runs to win the World Series for my beloved Red Sox
I fucking love Steve Pearce
