Mariachi surprise: Mariners' Leonys Martin serenaded on birthday

PEORIA, Ariz. -- A mariachi band was there to serenade Leonys Martin after he arrived in the Seattle Mariners clubhouse on his 29th birthday.

The four-member band then remained the outfielder's constant companion throughout morning workouts Monday, filling the air on the back fields at the spring training complex with lively music.

And if the accompanying band wasn't enough to draw attention to Martin, there was the huge sombrero he wore while taking swings in the batting cage, catching flyballs and doing running drills.
