It's interesting how "sports data pioneer" in this case means data more as we'd be taught about data in elementary school vs data like we think of it now-a-days. When I think of "sports data" now we see analysis of meticulously collected statistics of a vast set of facets of data, sometimes to very comedic affect[0]. But this case where data came into play came not from exotic analysis of huge troves of data; it came from a pocket notebook of suspicious plays. I feel like this account lives up to the description of "the story of a pioneer of data" as it's pioneering tools are just as primitive.
