If you’re from Seattle, or Washington State, or are an M’s fan, you know all about Edgar Martinez.

If you aren’t, the line on Martinez is as follows—best designated hitter of all time (he did have the award named after him), one of the best pure hitters in franchise history and “should-be” Hall of Famer. And, oh yeah, he has a street named after him. A street that is home to Safeco Field no less.

Edgar Martinez has been named #Mariners hitting coach. He will be in uniform (#11) today. Howard Johnson re-assigned to minor league system.

The Mariners brought back one of the greatest players in franchise history in an attempt to improve upon a scuffling offense that entered the week with the third fewest runs scored in the league.

Seattle’s Twitter account was all over the news after announcing the hiring. Hopefully Edgar will have a positive impact on the squad this season and beyond.
