Renie Martin was a Delaware-born right hander of very average ability. He came up with the Royals in '79 and reached the peak of his career in the following year, spending all of the 1980 season as the Royals' fifth starter. Martin spent four more years in the majors with the Royals and Giants, mostly as a long reliever. In 1984, the Giants dealt him with Al Oliver to Philadelphia. Martin was happy to be in Philadelphia, which was close to his Delaware home. Alas, the homecoming was not a very happy one, as Renie went 0-2, 4.60 in just 15.2 innings of garbage relief. That was the end of Renie's big league career, but he has had a long career as a Phillie unicorn. This is the very first legit ML image I have seen of him with Philadelphia, taken from a Wilimington newspaper.
