As a hardcore New York Yankees fan, I've had to swallow my pride the past few years as I watched the Boston Red Sox take the crown a couple of times. But, even I can appreciate greatness, even if it happens to be wearing the scarlet red-lined uniform of the most hated sports team in New York. The guys and gals at Sony were nice enough to scrape together some footage from their MLB 09 The Show motion capture session with 2008 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia. The Boston Red Sox second baseman shared his thoughts on being named the cover athlete of the franchise's newest iteration and explained the tingling sensation of watching his real arm movements translate into virtual groundball double plays. Pull up a chair and watch, homes!
