Always sad to read about something like this, my deepest sympathies to his family.

...with that said, there's just no denying how funny that sponsor quote is.

Carlos Martinez, you will be missed!

The story also says Martinez had the nickname "Cafe" because he liked coffee.

Those players are so imaginitive.

Martinez, of course, was the man who hit the home run that bounced off of Jose Canseco's head.
