Timeline
Felix Anthony "Tippy" Martinez (born May 31, 1950) is an American former professional baseball left-handed pitcher.
Martinez was drafted by the Washington Senators in the 35th round of the 1969 amateur draft, but did not sign with the team.
He pitched 14 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 1974 and 1988, primarily as a relief pitcher.
He began his MLB career with the New York Yankees in 1974 after signing as a free agent.
The majority of his career (1976–1986) was spent as a member of the Baltimore Orioles, where he was a member of 1983 World Series championship team.
A grassroots fan club was created for Tippy Martinez near the bullpen in left field of Memorial Stadium in 1980, called "Tippy's Tweeters".
Fans blew on an official Oriole Tweeter every time Martinez entered a game as a reliever, and when he struck out the side.
He, Dempsey and McGregor became part of a nucleus that kept the Orioles as perennial contender for the next decade, culminating with the 1983 World Series championship.
A notable Martinez achievement during the 1983 season was picking off Barry Bonnell, Dave Collins and Willie Upshaw at first base in a single frame of a ten-inning 7–4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Memorial Stadium on August 24.
The Orioles, having replaced both their starting catcher and his backup while rallying to tie the game in the ninth inning, entered the tenth with reserve infielder Lenn Sakata in the game at catcher.
Three consecutive Blue Jays hitters reached first base and each one, thinking it would be easy to steal a base on Sakata, took a big lead.
Martinez picked off all three baserunners, then became the winning pitcher when the Orioles won the game on Sakata's home run in the bottom of the tenth.
He was on the mound when the Orioles clinched the division title in a 5–1 victory over the Brewers at Milwaukee County Stadium on September 25 and the pennant in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, earning a save and a win respectively.
Martinez finished his MLB career with the Minnesota Twins in 1988.
He posted a lifetime win–loss record of 55–42 with an ERA of 3.45.
He also recorded 115 saves.
In December 2006, Martinez became the pitching coach of the York Revolution of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.
