The History of Fantasy Sports: And the Stories of the People Who Made It Happen
This isn’t a dry textbook, it’s an entertaining narrative for lifelong fantasy players and anyone fascinated by sports, business, technology, and pop culture. Praised as “simply fascinating from start to finish” by Midwest Book Review.
Highlights include:
• The real origin of fantasy baseball (no, it didn’t happen on an airplane!)
• How a World War II hero helped spread fantasy football across the country
• Five nuns in a Chicago convent co-managing a fantasy football team
• A dedicated player with ALS finally winning his league after 39 years
• The surprising role Monica Lewinsky played in saving fantasy sports
• And dozens more stories of obsession, innovation, and underdog success.
"Despite spending my entire career in the industry, I was enlightened by all the interviews and countless stories throughout the book."
— Paul Charchian, Former President, Fantasy Sports Trade Association (2009–2020)
Winning Fantasy Baseball: Secret Strategies of a Nine-Time National Champion
The 2014 Amazon bestseller is still relevant for how to value players, maximize your rosters value for snake drafts, auctions, and salary cap formats...as well as projecting player performance, in-season management, and more. Many concepts also apply to fantasy football and other fantasy sports.
"It's all about winning, and all Larry Schechter does is win. This book is an absolute, 100% must-read." - Ron Shandler, author of the Baseball Forecaster and founder of Baseball HQ
