His cousin is the equally famous baseball player, Carmelo Martinez. Martinez initially signed on to a minor league contract with the Seattle mariners on December 19, 1982 . He gradually worked his way up through the Mariner’s minor league ranks, enjoying brief stints with the Calgary Cannons and the Chattanooga Lookouts before making his official major league introduction on September 12, 1987. In 1990, Martinez finally became a permanent fixture on the lineup of the Mariners team, after he replaced Jim Presley on third base.
