_!!!DING DING DING!!!_ Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! Yes, I am Pedro Martínez, multiple-Cy Young-winning pitcher for the Dodgers, Expos, Mets, Phillies, and, most famously, the Red Sox. As I explained earlier, he was a last-minute substitution for Finneas O’Connell. I considered Patrick Mahomes, as well, which is why I’m miffed at myself for missing **knoodler** ’s Super Bowl IQ. Well-done @knoodler! You’re up! ---

Thanks **SMV**! Pedro was a big part of the Red Sox breaking the curse, and although there are several Pedros who are/were in the MLB I thought his was the best guess. I’ll be back with a letter. Today’s been a busy day for me. ---
