Happy birthday and happy holidays, Baseball-Reference.com

Sean Forman, the owner and maintainer of Baseball-Reference.com, is celebrating a birthday today.

If you're like me, you've used B-R.com countless times to look up quick information, look over past teams, compare players, or just plain kill time by looking at an insane amount of baseball statistics.

That said, we baseball bloggers across SBN are spreading wishes of good cheer to B-R.com today, hoping to show appreciation for Sean's outstanding work and continued presence in the online baseball community. If you use B-R a lot, think about donating or sponsoring a page to help him cover the costs of maintaining all those servers and all that bandwidth. You'll be doing a good deed and giving Mr. Forman a very happy birthday indeed.

Thanks for all your work, Sean. We hope we can give back a little bit.

I can't imagine

What I’d do without Baseball Reference. Probably Baseball Cube, but that’s beside the point; the Cube is rarely updated anyways.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

B-R was the first stat site I found

and is still the one I go to the most often.
What an incredible resource! Thanks, Sean, and Happy Birthday!

Has there ever been a cooler Oriole than Eddie Murray? I mean, just straight up cool. Like a bad, suave dude. You know what I'm sayin'. COOL. SC 7/24/08
