"It made all the sense in young Victor Martinez's world to call his mother and tell her he was coming home after learning the Indians wanted him to switch positions from shortstop to catcher. Instead, Margot Coromoto Martinez calmed down her sobbing son and politely told him, 'Just try it first'. 'I'd been a shortstop since I was 7', Martinez said. These days, Martinez has his mother to thank for being one of the best young catchers in the major leagues." - Sportswriter Stephanie Storm in the Akron Beacon Journal (01/28/2005)
