J.C. Martin was born on Sunday, December 13, 1936, in Axton, Virginia. Martin was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 10, 1959, with the Chicago White Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive J.C. Martin baseball stats page.
"I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I spent 13-14 years in the big leagues seeing the best players ever, guys like Bob Gibson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski. Players like that just aren’t around anymore. Baseball was better back then... they didn’t have the DH which has killed all the suspense in the American League, and the ballparks were fair. You didn’t have this emphasis on hitting home runs all the time. It was great." - J.C. Martin in the J.C. Martin Interview (Baseball Almanac, 2005)
