Well, I doubt the founder/owner/operator of baseball-reference.com and the entire sports-reference monolith is really a millionare (it ain't a one-man show and I don't know if this is a one lump sum thing or not), but apparently, he came into the money as FSV bought of share of his company. From the article:
The amount is undisclosed; SBJ describes it as low seven figure, which sounds on par with similar deals.
Not bad. Over at his blog, Sean notes he still retains full control of the site.
History instructor by day, statnerd by night, Chris Jaffe leads one of the most exciting double lives imaginable; with the exception of every other double life possible to imagine. Despite his lack of comic-book-hero-worthiness, Chris enjoys farting around with this stuff. His new book, Evaluating Baseball's Managers is available for order. Chris welcomes responses to his articles via e-mail.
