His ultimate hilight was when he still played for Seattle in '95...Tino was cool...even though he was a traitor.

Michael Kay's radio call--1:16--was ridiculous, man! I remember hearing it ALL DAMN DAY on the radio the next day. It was fuckin' awesome! Dude lost it..."And the "3-2"...SWUNG ON AND DRILLED DEEP TO RIGHT, THERE IT GOES! THAT BALL IS...GONE!!!!! A GRRRRRAND SLAM--INTO THE UPPER DECK--FOR TINO MARTINEZ! AND THE YANKEES LEAD 9-5! SEVEN RUNS, IN THE SEVENTH INNING, IN THE FIRST GAME, OF THE BEST-OF-SEVEN WORLD SERIES! OH WHAT A HOME RUN, FOR TINO MARTINEZ!" Too bad he didn't say "C-YA!!!"

@CVCreationStepper ...the whole world series? LOL. The Yankees swept them...one pitch did not make the difference in that series.

@thecyborg .... bad calls get made all the time. It's a judgement call. It's part of the game. The Yankees swept them...do you really think one pitch would have made a difference as to who won that WS? Please, no one was going to stop the Yankees that year. And guess what, if Tino would've swung and missed instead of hitting the grand slam, everyone would've forgotten about the "bad call."

@CVCreationStepper Considering that it was a clean sweep, that's a joke.

Everyone not a Yankee fan knows he struck out on the 2-2 pitch. Yet another sham, even Michael Kay knows it was a strike. It was "down" at his knees. Shocker that the ump was Rich Garcia, the same clown who blew the Maier debacle.

@CVCreationStepper no it wasnt, the ball was dwn n quickly brought up by the catcher to make it look like a strike, tino admitted it was the right call
