Red Sox | Dustin Pedroia pain-free

Boston Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia (thumb) was pain-free as he hit a home run in the team's spring game Monday, Feb. 25. "It was kind of a freak deal," he said. "I never had my hand slip off the bat like that. The bottom hand. Usually it's the top hand that slips off. It was painful, because I couldn't rest it. The vibration would keep hitting (the thumb) every time I hit. It's a good feeling when you can just worry about having a good at-bat rather than thinking if I get jammed, it's going to be the worst pain. It's nice."
