I’ve been run over, knocked down, and even (several times) knocked out: but I’ve always escaped unscathed, unhurt, determined more than ever to protect that very private piece of turf I call my own.That’s just the way I feel about home plate.My teammates know this. The players with the other clubs know it. I’d even guess that most baseball fans who have ever seen me play know it too.It’s not just home plate, it’s my home plate.The only trouble on that fateful night in Seattle’s Kingdome, was that somebody had apparently forgotten to tell Phil Bradley.From spring training to season end, Martinez writes ab'''' ID: mon0000080776"
