    Saturday night at Safeco Field, the Seattle Mariners retired No. 11 in honor of the great Edgar Martinez. It is only the third retired number in franchise history, joining Ken Griffey Jr.'s No. 24 and Jackie Robinson's universally retired No. 42.

    Throughout his career Martinez was a devastating hitter who even some of the greatest pitchers in history hated to face. He spent his entire career in Seattle and retired as a .315/.418/.515 (147 OPS+) hitter with 514 doubles, 309 home runs, and more walks (1,283) than strikeouts (1,202).
