Description
In this witty, immersive account, a sports journalist enters the fiercely competitive world of expert fantasy baseball, where statistical analysis, scouting, strategy, and nerve can matter as much as knowledge of the game. Determined to win, he assembles an unconventional team of advisers—including a NASA mathematician—and pursues every possible edge while tracking the season’s players and storylines. Along the way, the book explores obsession, competition, probability, and the changing relationship between fans and professional sports. Blending reported sports narrative with sharp humor and analytical insight, it offers an entertaining look at the people and passions behind fantasy baseball.
