One Red Sock approves:

[spoiler2]He was stopped at the players' entrance at Coors Field in Denver during last year's World Series against the Colorado Rockies. The security guard didn't believe Pedroia was a player and shooed him away. Pedroia seethed. He produced his players' ID card, and the security guard questioned whether it was legitimate.
Pedroia, unable to contain his rage any longer, dropped a subtle reminder, much to the delight of Red Sox manager Terry Francona, who tells the story.
"He says, 'You don't know who I am? You don't know who I am?' " Francona says. " 'Ask Jeff f———- Francis who the f—- I am. I'm the guy who hit a bomb and just ended their f———- season."
Pedroia hit the first pitch of the World Series over the Green Monster off Francis, the Rockies' ace. It was the first leadoff homer by a rookie in Game 1 in World Series history. The Red Sox won Game 1 in a 13-1 rout on their way to a four-game sweep.
