A couple of my best friends were among the men who created
Rotisserie League Baseball back in the early 80s. Long story short, they never
cashed in on their invention and what’s now known as “fantasy” sports is said
to be a $4 billion business in the U.S. To be honest, I don’t know anything
about fantasy sports. It would be fair to call me a “hater.” While I know not
every fantasy player claims to be an expert when it comes to sports reality,
enough of them have rubbed me the wrong way to help me form a strong opinion.
That said, today I have officially entered the fray, having entered a Major League Soccer fantasy league that kicks off at 3 p.m. I’m sure I don’t have the
passion necessary to excel at a game based on number-crunching, but I’m in. I’m
calling myself the 50-year old virgin.
