Marty's Bio
Marty Andrade is a former political activist, former (paid) columnist, former radio talk show host and former former. Now Marty just wishes to get beyond what he did and get to what he's going to do.
A longtime baseball fan and statistics freak who carries an old school TI-82 calculator wherever he goes, Marty is always ready to perform a regressional analysis while telling people about motivation curves and how they are important.
Sometimes he thinks numbers are his only friends, a view shared by most of his friends.
He's a graduate of the University of Minnesota and is presently pursuing an MBA, which takes up a great deal of his free time.

All Time Sports Moment
Greatest moment ever has to be Don Larsen's perfect game in the '56 World Series, but the greatest moment I ever seen was watching the Red Sox win the World Series.
-
Most Memorable Game Attended
Saw Bob Tewksbury's 100th win, several Ken Griffey Jr home runs, the home opener of the 1993 Rockies and saw Cal Ripken play several times. I couldn't name one game as being better among all those, though my first ever baseball game (the Rockies home opener in 1993) ranks pretty close.
-
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak.
-
Ruth or Mays?
Ruth, May's wasn't a dominant player. He was a better glove than Mantle but Mantle had the better bat. No one came close to Ruth during his peak years.
-
Unitas or Montana?

Pele or Maradona?

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?
Big 10, how can there be debate on this?

Like all of the Twins pitchers, he's simply much better at home than he is on the road. Honestly, even more than Delmon, Gomez, the bullpen and the middle infield, I'm worried about the Twins' inability to win away from the Dome.
But back to Baker. What has impressed me over his last couple starts is his ability to get key outs, which he was NOT doing in those early starts. Getting the strike out on Peralta in the 6th to end the inning was a perfect example. He had a runner on second, two out, two already in. He stopped the bleeding and kept his quality start intact.
The key going forward for Scotty B is trusting his stuff and not making the same mistakes over and over again. He's been into the tape room a couple times and found flaws, which is all well and good, but if he sees something, he needs to fix it the first time.
On a different note, are you doing the podcast this season?

Hey Marty(love the profile pic by the way),
After 86 years in “The House that Ruth Built,” it still felt weird imagining the Yankees in a new building. In my third trip to the new Yankee Stadium, there were events that finally made it begin to feel like home.
I would love to hear your comments and feedback. Thanks in advance!
