About Sports Ecyclopedia

Our story

Our history

The original SportsEcyclopedia.com was created by Frank “The Tank” Fleming, a lifelong New Jersey sports fan and one of the most passionate voices in American sports media.

Frank built the site as a massive archive of team histories, player profiles, and photo galleries that captured the humor, heart, and drama of sports through decades of stories. His goal was to document every major season and team in professional sports, preserving moments that defined generations of fans.

Those early archives laid the foundation for what Sports Ecyclopedia has become today. While our focus now includes sports news, betting insights, and educational content, we remain deeply rooted in the preservation of sports history and the storytelling that brings it to life.

Frank continues to share his voice through Barstool Sports and social media, where his humor, passion, and perseverance inspire millions of fans.
