Martinez will appear at Elliot Bay Book Co. in Seattle on Wednesday, and then at the Bellevue Barnes & Noble on June 12. Martinez played third base and was designated hitter for the Mariners between 1987 and 2004. He was inducted in the baseball hall of fame this year.

Martinez wrote his autobiography with Seattle Times sports columnist Larry Stone. More about the book from the publisher:

Edgar: An Autobiography explores Martinez’s childhood in Puerto Rico, where at only 11 years old he elected to remain at home while his parents relocated to New York.
