About Marty »

Marty Andrade is a former political activist and radio talk show host who never lost his passion for sports.

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.

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Pat Neshek, Baron Von Raschke, Joe Mauer, Haystacks Calhoun, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Lehman, John Daly, Sean "The Beast" Fister, Adrian Peterson, Charles Barkley, Andres Galarraga, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Randy Couture, Tim Wakefield

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Minnesota Twins, Colorado Rockies, Minnesota Vikings, Golden Gophers, Kansas City Royals, Washington Nationals, Denver Broncos, Saint Paul Saints

  • 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?

    Montana

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    Big 10, how can there be debate on this?

I went to the game last night for my first experience at Citi Field, Marty. Let's say not only do the team needs work, but the stadium could use some work too. I was disappointed about the new park. It's good, but it should be better.

I am going to Target Field next year, and I better not have the same experience I had at Citi.

Hey Marty,

I'm a Featured Columnist for the Indians here on Bleacher, and I'm polling the FCs from other MLB teams for an upcoming article on what went wrong with the 2009 Indians from an outsider's perspective.

Your participation in a brief survey for the article would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the survey:

The deadline for the survey is Sunday August 2.

I look forward to reading your opinions!

Thanks!
