Tigers' Victor Martinez heading home

Cleveland — Now you see why he doesn’t want to start talking about it. The Indians honored him in a pregame ceremony Saturday and he lost it. His body sagged, tears flowed. There are heavy emotions roiling around inside of him and he’s kept them pent up for eight months, since he reported to training camp last February.

It’s just too soon. There are still 13 games to play.

“Right now, like I said before, I am just enjoying being around this group,” he said. “These guys almost make me feel young.”

Victor Martinez is in the home stretch, literally.
