Before writing The Book of Baseball Literacy, David Martinez worked as a news reporter, sports broadcaster, and advertising copywriter, but his biggest love has always been baseball. A member of the Society for American Baseball Research, he reads extensively on the sport and owns an expansive baseball library. Among the significant moments in his life, he counts the day he met statistics guru Bill James at a book signing.
Maxine Hong Kingston, the renowned author of Chinamen and The Woman Warrior, called him "a wonderful writer. . . [His] style is natural and fun to read. When [he] writes sports stories, everything comes together perfectly."
David has appeared on dozens of radio stations around the country, from KNBR in San Francisco to KOA in Denver toWCCO in Minneapolis, and beyond. He's done book signings in San Jose, Palo Alto, and San Francisco.
A California native, he received his bachelor's degree in English from the University of California at Berkeley, and he now makes his home in San Jose.
