He had 100 or more [[Run batted in|RBI]] in six different seasons and was twice named to the [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star team]].

==Early life==
Tino Martinez was born and raised in the neighborhood of [[West Tampa]] in [[Tampa, Florida]], to a [[Cuban-American]] father with Spanish roots and a mother with Italian and Greek ancestry. His grandfather owned a small cigar factory, in which Martinez and his brothers, as well as childhood friend and fellow future major-leaguer [[Luis Gonzalez (outfielder, born 1967)|Luis Gonzalez]], worked as young boys.<ref>{{cite news |last=White |first=Paul |date=October 30, 2001 |title=Their paths diverged, now cross again |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/bbw/2001-10-31/2001-10-31-cover.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011102110337/https://www.usatoday.com/sports/bbw/2001-10-31/2001-10-31-cover.htm |archive-date=2001-11-02 |work=USA Today}}</ref> Martinez attended St. Joseph School in [[West Tampa]] until 8th grade, then attended [[Tampa Catholic High School]] for 9th and 10th grades, before transferring to and graduating from [[Thomas Jefferson High School (Tampa, Florida)|Jefferson High School]].

Martinez enrolled at the [[University of Tampa]], where he played [[college baseball]] for the [[Tampa Spartans baseball|Tampa Spartans]] in [[NCAA Division II]]. He played three years for Tampa, and was an All-American each year. In 1986, he played [[collegiate summer baseball]] with the [[Falmouth Commodores]] of the [[Cape Cod Baseball League]] and was named a league all-star.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://capecodbaseball.org.ismmedia.com/ISM3/std-content/repos/Top/2012website/archives/Current%20Year/All_Time_MLB_CCBL_Alumni.pdf |title=Major League Baseball Players From the Cape Cod League |publisher=capecodbaseball.org |access-date=September 25, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | title = All-Stars | pages =52 | newspaper = Cape Cod Times | location = Hyannis, MA | date =July 20, 1986 }}</ref> As of 2011, Martinez still held school records in career [[home runs]] (54), career [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]] (.399), career [[slugging percentage]] (.736), single season batting average (.452) and single season slugging percentage (.957).<ref name="degree" /> In 1988, he was a finalist for the [[Golden Spikes Award]], which has never been given to any NCAA Division II player.

==Playing career==

===Seattle Mariners (1990–1995)===
The Seattle Mariners drafted Martinez in {{MLBY|1988}}. Martinez's first Major League manager was [[Lou Piniella]], who had also grown up in the West Tampa neighborhood, and who knew Martinez's uncle and mother. Martinez had several mediocre seasons, but broke out in {{MLBY|1995}} when he drove in 111 runs, hit 31 home runs and batted .293. The Mariners clinched the AL West and went on to play in the first season of [[Division Series|divisional postseason play]] against the New York Yankees.

===New York Yankees (1996–2001)===
[[File:Tino Martinez 1999.jpg|thumb|right|Martinez in 1999]]
Following that season, the [[New York Yankees]] acquired Martinez, along with [[Jeff Nelson (pitcher)|Jeff Nelson]] and [[Jim Mecir]], for [[Sterling Hitchcock]] and [[Russ Davis]]. Before the trade was finalized, Martinez and the Yankees agreed to a five-year, $20.25 million contract extension. Martinez succeeded [[Don Mattingly]] as the Yankees' starting first baseman.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/12/08/sports/baseball-yanks-get-martinez-for-davis-hitchcock.html|title=Baseball; Yanks Get Martinez For Davis, Hitchcock|first=Jack|last=Curry|work=The New York Times|date=December 8, 1995|access-date=February 3, 2015}}</ref>

Martinez was with the New York Yankees as they won four [[World Series]] championships in five seasons: {{MLBY|1996}}, {{MLBY|1998}}, {{MLBY|1999}}, and {{MLBY|2000}}. He also won the [[Home Run Derby]] in 1997.<ref>[http://www.sporthaven.com/players/tino-martinez/ Tino Martinez Career Biography and Statistics | SportHaven.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Martinez hit two memorable home runs as a Yankee in the [[World Series]]. The first came off [[Mark Langston]] in Game 1 of the [[1998 World Series|1998 Series]]. The Yankees had tied the game earlier in the inning with a [[Chuck Knoblauch]] three-run home run. The following three batters got on base, and Martinez came to the plate. After taking a very close pitch with a 2–2 count, which appeared to be strike three but was not ruled as such by umpire [[Richie Garcia]], Martinez hit the next pitch into the upper deck for a grand slam, giving the Yankees a four-run lead. Martinez's second memorable World Series home run came three years later, on October 31, 2001. The Yankees were down to their last out trailing by two runs, two outs in the 9th inning, when Martinez came to the plate with a runner on. He hit a game-tying home run to right center off [[Arizona Diamondbacks]] closer [[Byung-hyun Kim]], and the Yankees went on to win the game. The feat was repeated the following night by [[Scott Brosius]]. However, the Yankees would lose Games 6 and 7 and thus the Series.

His best season statistically came in {{MLBY|1997}}, when he was second in the [[American League]] in home runs and RBI (with 44 and 141 respectively), and finished second in [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|AL Most Valuable Player]] voting. On May 19, 1998, he was hit by a pitch in the upper back by [[Baltimore Orioles]] pitcher [[Armando Benítez]], which resulted in an intense brawl between the two teams.

In the [[2001 World Series]], Martinez's Yankees faced off against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The series went to Game 7, which Arizona won when [[Luis Gonzalez (outfielder, born 1967)|Luis Gonzalez]], Martinez's best friend, hit a game-winning single off Yankee closer [[Mariano Rivera]] in the bottom of the 9th inning. Gonzalez later recalled that when he went back home to check his answering machine, the first message of congratulations was from Martinez.<ref>''9 Innings at Ground Zero'', Documentary</ref>

During most of his time with the Yankees, Martinez resided in [[Tenafly, New Jersey]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Curry |first=Jack |date=2001-07-25 |title=ON BASEBALL; Martinez Makes a Case to Stay a Yankee |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/25/sports/on-baseball-martinez-makes-a-case-to-stay-a-yankee.html |url-access=subscription |access-date=2024-11-15 |work=[[The New York Times]] |page=D3 |quote=Tino Martinez lived in Tenafly, N.J., during his first five seasons with the Yankees, but he sold his house after last season and decided to live in Manhattan this season.}}</ref>

===St. Louis Cardinals (2002–2003)===
After the {{MLBY|2001}} season the Yankees elected to sign [[Jason Giambi]] for {{MLBY|2002}} and beyond. Martinez went on to play for the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] for two seasons, once again replacing an aging, legendary first baseman, [[Mark McGwire]].

When Martinez returned to Yankee Stadium during a series in 2003, he received a standing ovation by Yankee fans. In the second game of the three game series, Martinez hit two home runs off former teammate [[Andy Pettitte]], receiving a substantial ovation from the crowd both times. The Yankee fans cheered him for a [[curtain call]], a rare occurrence in honor of a visiting team's player.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

===Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2004)===
After the {{MLBY|2003}} season, the Cardinals decided to have [[Albert Pujols]] switch from left field to first base. They traded Martinez to the [[Tampa Bay Devil Rays]], where he was reunited with his manager in Seattle, Lou Piniella, who was now managing the Devil Rays. Martinez hit 23 home runs, while serving as a mentor for the team's many young players, and was popular with Devil Rays' fans. His family lived just minutes from [[Tropicana Field]].

Prior to the [[2004 Summer Olympics]], the host nation, Greece, trying to build up their chances of winning a medal, decided to put together a team of North American baseball players of Greek heritage. Martinez, having some Greek ancestry, was approached by the Greek Olympic team manager, [[Rob Derksen]], and asked to play for the host nation. Martinez, along with fellow MLB players [[Eric Karros]] and [[Aaron Miles]], declined the offer because the games were in the midst of the Major League Baseball season.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/189247p-163725c.html |location=New York |work=Daily News |title=New York – New Jersey Sports News |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041209010656/http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/189247p-163725c.html |archive-date=December 9, 2004 }}</ref>

===Second stint with the New York Yankees (2005)===
Martinez returned for a second tour of duty with the Yankees for the 2005 season. From May 7–11, 2005, Martinez hit five home runs in five straight games, which is one more than his previous best, set from June 27 – July 31, 2001. Held homer-less on May 12, 2005, Martinez hit two homers on May 15 to give him eight home runs in eight games.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

On November 8, 2005, the Yankees declined their $3 million option on Martinez, making him a free agent.

On Wednesday February 15, 2006, he officially decided to end his playing career. Martinez confirmed the decision in the ''[[St. Petersburg Times]]'', telling the paper that he would begin his broadcasting career at [[ESPN]]. Martinez said that the offer from ESPN made his decision to retire a lot easier, as he would work on ''[[Baseball Tonight (MLB)|Baseball Tonight]]'', do some radio work, and broadcast a few games.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

In his 16-year Major League career, Martinez hit [[Batting average (baseball)|.271]] with 339 home runs and 1,271 [[Run batted in|RBI]]. During his seven years with the Yankees, he hit 192 [[home run]]s and drove in 739 runs.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

===1988 Olympics===
Martinez, along with other future [[Major Leaguers]] [[Jim Abbott]] and [[Robin Ventura]], won a gold medal at the [[1988 Summer Olympics]] in [[Seoul]], [[South Korea]], the seventh time that baseball was part of the [[Olympic Games]] and its last year as a [[demonstration sport]]. In the final game, Martinez belted two homers and drove in four runs, and Abbott pitched a [[complete game]], as they led the USA to a 5–3 win.
