Pedro Martinez Hands Out Ice Cream In Boston

BOSTON (CBS) - Former Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez is used to throwing some heat.

But on Tuesday, he picked a great day to hand out some cool treats instead.

Tuesday marked the kickoff of Good Humor's summer-long "Share The Love" campaign, and who better than the future Hall of Famer to hand out ice cream treats to Bostonians around the city.
