Fred Martin (baseball)
Fred Turner Martin (June 27, 1915 – June 11, 1979) was an American pitcher, coach and scout in Major League Baseball. Born in Williams, Oklahoma, Martin threw and batted right-handed, stood (185 cm) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg) during his active playing career.
==Defected to Mexican League==
Martin was one of a handful American Major League players who "jumped" to the then-outlaw Mexican League during the season. With the reserve clause then binding players permanently to the U.S. teams who held their contracts, the insurgent Mexican League induced players such as Martin, Sal Maglie, Mickey Owen, Lou Klein, Max Lanier, Danny Gardella and others to leave their clubs—in Martin's (Lanier's and Klein's) case, the pennant-contending but notoriously low-paying St. Louis Cardinals—for greater riches south of the border.
Martin, then almost 31, was in his first MLB campaign after years of toiling in the minors and World War II service. He had appeared in six games for the 1946, title-bound Cards, winning two of three decisions and compiling an earned run average of 4.08 in 28⅔ innings pitched. He, along with the other "jumpers," was then suspended by Commissioner of Baseball Albert B. Chandler. While the Mexican League raids of MLB stopped, and most of the American players soon attempted to rejoin "organized baseball" in the U.S., the bans remained in force until June 5, 1949. Martin and Lanier had filed a $2.5 million suit against baseball in an attempt to have the bans lifted.〔(Coomer, Dan, ''The Forgotten Race'' )〕
