Cleveland Indians/Home Run off Jose Canseco`s Head

Question
Who hit the home run off Jose Canseco`s head?  Was it Dave Martinez, or Carlos Martinez?

Answer
Hello,

While I vividly remember seeing that ball bounce off Canseco's head for the HR, I cannot remember who actually hit it!  However, a little sleuthing leads me to believe that it was Carlos Martinez, because he played for the Indians during the 1991-1993 seasons.  Dave Martinez never played for the Indians.  Unfortunately, I don't remember too much about it other than laughing for weeks afterwards!

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Regards,
Gina McDonough

Living in Cleveland, and not particularly liking the Browns or Cavs, I had to like ONE of my hometown teams. I also LOVE baseball, so the Indians took care of both things. I have been a true fan since their lonely, losss-filled days at Cleveland Stadium, when I was one of only about 2,000 fans in attendance. I remember players like Corey Snyder, Alan Bannister, Julio Franco (the 1st time...), Doug Jones (the 1st time), Joe Carter, and on and on... Though I`m not a trivia buff, I might be able to help with some questions on more recent stuff.
