Early Life
Joshua Patrick Beckett was born in Spring, Texas, on May 15, 1980. As a youth he attended Spring High School in Texas, where he established himself as one of the top prospects in the nation coming out of high school. Even though he was heavily recruited, he decided to forgo College and turn pro. -

He would lead the Florida Marlins to the World Series championship in 2003, picking up the World Series MVP along the way. He would continue to establish himself as an excellent pitcher.

Along the way he earned the American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player. -
