Product Description 
Pedro Gomez of ESPN was a beloved figure in baseball. His death from sudden cardiac arrest on Feb. 7, 2021, unleashed an outpouring of heartfelt tributes. He was 58, both a hard-nosed reporter and a smiling ambassador of the sport. These 62 personal essays soar beyond sports to delve into life lessons.\nPedro, a proud Cuban American, was known for his dramatic reporting from Havana. Fully and fluidly bilingual, he did as much as anyone to bridge the wide gap that had existed between U.S.-born players and the Latin Americans now so important to the game’s vitality and future growth. He was also a family man who loved to talk about his three children, 
Sierra, Dante and 
Rio, a Boston Red Sox prospect. Pedro was universally known as a smiling presence who brought out the best in people. His humanity and generosity of spirit shaped countless lives, including one of his ESPN bosses, 
Rob King, who was so moved by Pedro’s advice to him―“Remember who you are”―that he printed up the words and posted them on the wall of his office in Bristol. King is one of a diverse collection of contributors whose personal essays turn Pedro’s shocking death into an occasion to reflect on the deeper truths of life we too often overlook. Part 
The Pride of Havana and part 
Tuesdays With Morrie, part 
The Tender Bar and part 
Ball Four, this is the rare essay collection that reads like a novel, full of achingly honest emotion and painful insights, a book about friendship, a book about standing for something, a book about joy and love.\nFormer 
New York Times writer 
Jack Curry writes about Pedro’s passion for live music, and former 
Sports Illustrated writer 
Tim Kurkjian brings alive spring-training basketball games with executives like 
Sandy Anderson and 
Billy Beane and Pedro right in the mix. Detroit manager 
AJ Hinch and formers Texas manager 
Ron Washington both reveal that in their darkest hours Pedro gave them some of the best advice of their lives.\nHall of Famers 
Dennis Eckersley, Tony La Russa, Peter Gammons, Ross Newhan, Tracy Ringolsby and 
Dan Shaughnessy are among the contributors. So are likely future Hall of Famers 
Max Scherzer and 
Dusty Baker. Pulitzer-Prize-winning 
Washington Post war correspondent 
Steve Fainaru, award-winning writers from 
Howard Bryant and 
Mike Barnicle to 
Tim Keown, Ken Rosenthal and 
Dave Sheinin also contribute. Rounding out the mix are current and former ESPN stars including 
Rachel Nichols, Shelley M. Smith, Peter Gammons, Bob Ley and 
Keith Olbermann.\nThis is a book to rekindle in any lapsed fan a love of going to the ballpark, but it’s also a wakeup call that transcends sports. To any journalist, worn down by the demands of a punishing job, to anyone anywhere, pummeled by pandemic times and the dark mood of the country in recent years, these essays will light a spark to seize every opportunity to make a difference, in your work and in the lives of people who matter to you. 
 Review 
Advance praise for Remember Who You Are\n"Pedro Gomez was as kind as he was talented. I can think of no one else in the industry who would have inspired this many heartfelt essays by this diverse a group of writers, ballplayers, coaches, and front office executives. Everyone loved and respected him. And while he left this earth way too soon, his legacy will live on through his children and in the pages of this book." ― 
Molly Knight, Author, 
The Best Team Money Can Buy\n"The words in this collection share a common source―while they were crafted with the head, they originated from the heart. The Gomez Rules are the Commandments for those who cover the game. All who have lived the baseball life should have followed all at some point. They should be etched in tablet."―Broadcaster 
Ted Robinson\n" 
Remember Who You Are pulls together heartfelt and eloquent tributes to a man who was more than just America’s foremost baseball journalist, more than just an embodiment of the American dream, but a bona fide inspiratio
