Father & Son Behind B44
Baseball is America’s pastime. That statement couldn’t be more true for the two of us, the father and son duo who founded this website, Gene and David Loparco. For our whole lives, baseball has been our passion.
Watching a game and following our favorite players is great, but we are stat-heads through and through. After years of scouring the internet in search of the best and most reliable sites for facts and statistics, we always felt unsatisfied with the product. Sure, the numbers are what we’re after, but we always thought they could be presented in more straight forward and interesting ways. That is what led us to create Baseball44.
But this site isn’t just about providing an easier to read and more intuitive baseball site. It’s about the fans — baseball lovers like us who want to get lost in the stats and learn about the history of this great game through the numbers. We created Baseball44 for those people!
This site was borne out of passion, not profits, so you won’t see a single ad throughout the site. We strive to present the perfect blend of focused stats and facts without all the nonsense that detracts from your search. We’ve always wanted to create a place that seamlessly brings together all the things we look for when we search for baseball stats, and we think we have:
- view current standings and leaderboards, and track who’s hottest in the game right now
- go back in time and view a slice of history with our “On This Day” pages
- delve into advanced player stats and compare your favorites
- read about niche achievements of the old legends
- explore unique stats with formulas we invented to better understand the players and their place in history
- and so much more!
Moreover, Baseball44 is a place for you to share your favorite baseball memories and discover the stories of other fans all in one place! There’s so much this site provides that it would take a laundry list to explain. So instead, dive into whatever you’d like and uncover the infinite world that is Baseball44!
