Carlos Martínez awarded St. Louis Baseball Man of the Year - A Hunt and Peck

We have been chronicling the charitable endeavors of Carlos Martínez here for quite some time now. Through his foundation, Tsunami Waves, Carlos has been able to make a difference for many children in the St. Louis area and in the Dominican Republic. The efforts have made him a more than deserving recipient of the Baseball Writers Association of America St. Louis Baseball Man of the Year.

Congrats to Carlos! To contribute to Tsunami Waves, please visit www.tsunamiwavesfoundation.org.
