    I (heart) Sean Forman.

    Baseball Reference is the greatest web site in all of sports. I was shocked to learn that only 600 or so subscriptions to PI have been purchased.

    Folks--it's amazing. If you had to buy a subscription to any online sports publication--this is the one.

    Trust me--you won't be sorry.  

    Same goes for Lee Sinins Complete Baseball Encyclopedia. If you're a fan, these are must-haves.

    No, I'm not being paid to plug these--I'm just an extremely satisfied customer. 

    Best Regards

    John

    Any regrets?
    Not starting the site three years earlier. I shudder to think how much the site might have sold for in 1999 at the peak of the bubble.

    I wish B-R had been started before the boom as well.  That way the site would have what it really needs--a sock puppet.  (Excellent job Chris & Sean.)

THT: Jaffe: Sean Forman interview

THT: Jaffe: Sean Forman interview And to think...all those years I wasted following Gyatso as Statguru. Any changes you plan on making in the near future? I think we ll have a major amount of minor league data out in a few weeks. We ll be upgrading the football site significantly as well, and post-season data will be added to the Play Index as well, so you ll be able to search for the best postseason starts or the post-season walk-off home runs, or another other manner of post-season info. I m also hoping to do a major upgrade to the team and player pages before the season ends. You and Jim Furtado get into a bar fight - who wins? Furtado in a walk. He s trained to carry people out of burning buildings. I sit on my butt all day.
