"It's a quotation so legendary that it follows Pedro Martinez wherever he goes.

"I just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy."

Pedro uttered those words in 2004 when, as a member of the Red Sox, he suffered a late-season loss to the Yankees. And later that year, when Boston played in the AL Championship Series at old Yankee Stadium, sellout crowds began to serenade Pedro with chants of "Who's your daddy?"

So, naturally, after the Phillies clinched their spot in the World Series last night, Pedro was asked if he'd rather face the Angels or the Yankees next week."
