Their story
Who they were
Carlos Ernesto Martínez, nicknamed "Tsunami", is a Dominican former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals. Originally signed by the Boston Red Sox as an international free agent in 2009, MLB voided his contract due to discrepancies over his name and date of birth after the revelation that he was also known as Carlos Matias. However, he was eventually cleared of wrongdoing, as it was found that the inconsistencies arose from poor record keeping.
