"A Professor, a Website, and a Leap of Faith: Forman earned a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Iowa, and he arrived in Philadelphia in 2000 after accepting a position as a professor of math and computer science at Saint Joseph’s University. By then, Baseball Reference, the flagship of Sports Reference’s collection of nine sites, was already alive. It started in his final year of graduate school as a side project. While he was a full-time professor at Saint Joseph’s, he would update Baseball Reference on nights and weekends. It wasn’t sophisticated, it wasn’t profitable, and it had only a fraction of today’s audience."
