Real quick: How many doubles did Ryan Zimmerman hit in 2006? What was Martin Brodeur's save percentage during the 1998-99 season? And how many touchdowns did Jerry Rice score on "Monday Night Football" in December 1995? The answers: 47, .906 and three. Sure, this is not exactly need-to-know information. But every so often there's a bet to be settled, a trivia question to be answered, a foggy memory to bring into focus. And that's where Sean Forman's labor of love can come in handy. Forman heads Sports Reference LLC, a small Philadelphia-based firm that operates perhaps the most comprehensive family Web sites devoted to sports statistics and information. What began eight years ago as baseball-reference.com has expanded to include sites for professional football (pro-football-reference.com), basketball (basketball-reference.com) and, as of yesterday morning, professional hockey (hockey-reference.com.)http://www.washingtontimes.com/article/20080416/SPORTS/515510638
