John
Dewan
Owner
In 1987, John Dewan left a highly successful career as an actuary
to pursue his life-long dream, the development of the most timely
and comprehensive computer database in sports. He became the
Executive Director of Project Scoresheet, the Bill James-led
effort that pioneered a new wave of baseball statistics that
are now common baseball terminology. He then joined Sports Team
Analysis and Tracking Systems, Inc. (STATS, Inc.) During John's
tenure as President and CEO, STATS grew rapidly and was recognized
in Inc. Magazine's Inc. 500, a list of America's 500 Fastest-Growing
Private Companies, ranking #144. In recognition of his leadership
role in making real-time sports information available to consumers,
John was named to the Crain's Chicago Business list of key technology
players in Chicago and was a three-time finalist for the KPMG
Illinois High Tech Awards.
The success of the company culminated in its sale to an affiliate
of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and Fox Broadcasting, News
Digital Media in December 1999.
In March 2002, he reunited with Steve Moyer to begin Baseball Info Solutions.
Their combined experiences create respected and unparalleled sports statistics
used throughout the industry.
Since 1992, John has been the sports expert for "Stat of the Week,"
heard on WSCR 670 AM "The Score," an all-sports radio station in Chicago.
The show is also available on the web at http://www.670thescore.com/ every tuesday shortly after Noon Central time.
