Andy PondilloAndy Pondillo

I'm Andy Pondillo, I'm a national sports producer for Yahoo Sports Radio. I have been a diehard baseball and Astros fan since 1997. I couldn't have picked a better year to start watching the 'Stros. With the team rebuilding and in some confusion, it is now my voice that will bring them back to contention! Just kidding of course, I think.
