        We wish to congratulate Mr. Martinez on hitting 4% of his career homeruns off of Jose Canseco's head. Awesome!

Probably my favorite sponsor line I've ever seen on BR.com

I don't remember Carlos Martinez but have lots of respect for the man after hearing he was the guy who bounced the ball of Canseco's dome and into the stands for a HR. RIP indeed.
