}}Alphonse Case "Phonney" Martin (August 4, 1845 – May 24, 1933) was an American Major League Baseball baseball player who played two seasons in the National Association from {{Baseball year|1872}} to {{Baseball year|1873}}.[1]

Career

Martin, born in New York, New York, and an American Civil War veteran,[2] played in organized baseball as far back as 1869 when he pitched for the Brooklyn Eckfords. That year, a reporter for the New York Clipper described him as an "extremely hard pitcher to hit for the ball never comes in a straight line‚ but in a tantalizing curve." If the observation is true, this would pre-date Candy Cummings, the pitcher given credit as the inventor of the curveball.[3] His pitching style led to his nickname of "Old Slow Ball".[4]

Martin officially began his professional baseball career when he joined the {{Baseball year|1872}} Troy Haymakers of the National Association as a pitcher and right fielder, playing in 25 games, pitching in eight of those games.[1] Later in the season, he returned to the Eckfords, now also in the Association, and played in the same pitcher/outfielder role for 18 games.[1] That year, he is given credit for managing the Eckfords for nine games, with a record of 1 win and 8 losses.[1] There is a level of dispute on this, sabr and retrosheet.org list Andy Allison, Jimmy Wood, and Martin as managing the team that year,[5] while baseball-reference.com list Jim Clinton and Wood as the managers.[6] For the {{Baseball year|1873}} season, he joined the New York Mutuals, which turned out to be his last season at this level. He played 30 games in the right field, and pitched six games.[1]

Post-career

Martin died in Hollis, New York at the age of 87, and is interred at Cypress Hills National Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.[1]
