Chris Martin has put together a career made for Hollywood.
The Atlanta Braves relief pitcher played baseball at McLennan Community College, but was forced to stop playing due to a nagging shoulder injury.
After a few years off and time spent working in a warehouse, Martin got the itch to get back on the diamond after playing catch, and after a tryout earned a spot on an Independent League club.
The Boston Red Sox were the Major League Baseball team to notice and sign him to a contract and then after spending some time in the organization, was traded to the Colorado Rockies where he made his MLB debut.
