BenFred: Jose Martinez adds another memorable moment

Before Randal Grichuk walked it off against the Cubs, he started celebrating the one that wasn't.

"I jumped over the railing," the left fielder said. "I had to jump back real quick. It was fun to watch. I'm very happy for him."

Yeah, the guy who won the game was gushing about the teammate who scored the game-winning run.

This tends to happen with Jose Martinez.

How can you not root for this man?

Unless you have been living under the Busch Stadium tarp, you know the story.

The outfielder weathered three knee surgeries, spent a decade in the minors and turned 28 before his major league debut late last season.
