Techie’s website hits ‘cool’ factor out of the park - Houston Chronicle

Baseball cool or geek cool?

You don’t have to work for the Astros or any team to be baseball cool in this town, and Daren Willman is quintessential baseball cool.

Seems to be behind a paywall, so I'm not sure what the article says, but the site in question appears to be http://baseballsavant.com/.
