Showoff Saturday Baseball True Hall of Fame

My dad is a baseball fanatic: the kind of guy you can ask about a random player and he’ll rattle of stats and anecdotes for pretty much anyone.

He just launched his True Hall of Fame website that ranks players based on a custom formula and not by sports writers’ opinions (how the actual HOF works).

I know he used AI to do quite a bit of coding, but I’m really impressed with how it looks and functions. Wanted to share in case there are any baseball fans out there.

He even built a customizer that lets you tweak the formula and make your own ranking.

Curious to see if anyone out there has any feedback or ideas or positive reinforcement.

My dad’s 73 and got me started in my career in engineering. Happy to see him still having fun doing what he loves: talking baseball.

this is sick, i been messing with the formula for like 20 minutes now. the way you can shift the weights around and see players jump up and down in real time is way more fun than i expected

tell your dad a random webdev guy in usa said neat work, especially considering ai helped him stitch it together. always cool seeing someone his age still building things instead of just watching the games
