Julio Martinez sat in a chair in the Detroit Tigers’ clubhouse, waiting for his son, J.D., who was getting treatment in the training room.
You almost forget, didn’t you?
That J.D. Martinez is still recovering from a foot injury?
That’s what makes this story so remarkable.
“It’s a great feeling,” Julio said Thursday after his son jacked a three-run home run in a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. “It’s like we are watching a movie.”
A movie that just keeps getting better, one scene after the next.
J.D. Martinez has been on an amazing hot streak since coming off the disabled list last week.
