Dave Martinez Autographed 1993 Upper Deck #700 San Francisco Giants Card

This Dave Martinez autographed 1993 Upper Deck #700 San Francisco Giants card is an interesting late-series issue documenting Martinezs move from the Cincinnati Reds to San Francisco. While Upper Deck #400 from the same set features him with Cincinnati, card #700 updates Martinez to his new Giants affiliation.

Martinez spent the 1992 and 1993 seasons with Cincinnati before joining San Francisco. His appearance in the 1993 Upper Deck set with two different clubs provides collectors with a snapshot of the roster movement that occurred during this stage of his career.

Martinez played for the Giants in 1994, appearing in 91 games during the strike-shortened season. He batted .247 with 76 hits, 12 doubles, 3 home runs and 27 RBI while contributing throughout the San Francisco outfield. His stay with the Giants lasted one season before he joined the Chicago White Sox for 1995.

A versatile outfielder who could handle all three positions, Martinez ultimately played 16 Major League seasons and accumulated 1,599 hits, 91 home runs, 580 RBI and 183 stolen bases while batting .276. His longevity took him through nine different Major League franchises and included two separate stints with the Chicago Cubs.

Martinez later became a prominent coach and manager, serving as bench coach for the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs before guiding the Washington Nationals to the franchises first World Series championship in 2019. With its San Francisco designation and connection to Martinezs transition from Cincinnati to the Giants, the 1993 Upper Deck #700 is an appealing addition for Giants collectors, Dave Martinez fans, Upper Deck collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
