"Baseball-Reference's Stathead is one of the most important tools I use as a big league broadcaster. For instance, In contextualizing 2019's home run explosion, Stathead quickly tells us that the TOP FOUR SINGLE-SEASON TEAM TOTALS EVER occurred this year! Pretty much every crazy statistical question I have, Stathead can answer it with just a couple clicks. I couldn't live without it."

It's the greatest invention since the 55-inch flat screen!"
