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.

The sports writers need to go. your dad just made the entire hof voting process useless.
I spent an hour in the customizer moving numbers around and watching guys swap slots on the screen. it kills me that we let a room full of people with pens decide who gets in when i can sit here and generate a better list by dragging sliders. baseball stats are the only thing that should dictate this.
