		Edgar Martinez was at bat in the eighth for what may be the last plate appearance of his career, and the standing ovation rolled on and on.
		Edgar came to the park every year and hit the stitches off the ball when he was healthy enough to be propped up, Roosevelt-like, in the batter's box.
		Edgar later said he had trouble concentrating because he was so emotional in his last at-bat, and I think in no small part it's because the love he got from the stands was so overwhelming, constant and insistent.

		Martinez improved his all-around game over the next two years, and in 1992 posted a league-leading 46 doubles and.343 average -- just the second player ever to lead the league in batting while playing for a last-place team.
		By then, Martinez had switched to mostly DH duties, and became synonymous with the "position." And for good reason, as his offense was obviously the stronger part of his game: Between 1995 and 2000, Martinez averaged 103 runs, 42 doubles, 29 homers, and nearly 110 RBIs per year.
		After Griffey left the Mariners in February 2000, it was widely assumed that Martinez's RBI total would severely suffer, now that he was left naked without one of the most feared sluggers in the game hitting in front of him.

		(3) Martinez must be judged solely on his offensive contributions (as he really has no career defensive contributions to speak of.) You don't subtract from Martinez's career value because he has no fielding stats, but rather you would add value to the careers of other hitters for whatever fielding accomplishments boosted their overall value.
		Martinez has, in my opinion, done enough to warrant election to the Hall - or, at the very least, to be a very strong candidate.
		No player in baseball disgusts me more then Edgar for the simple reason that during the players strike when they were talking about eliminating the DH he stated he would retire if they did so..The man doesn't evben want to play the field..plain and simple he isn't a baseball player..
