Sobre este artículo
Viking Press, 2006. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Fine. In fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 354 pp. with index. Sportswriter Sam Walker, author of a weekly sports colume in a major newspaper, accepted an invitation to play in a "rotisserie" baseball laegue populated by some of the nation's most renowned fantasy experts. Though a fantasy league novice, he figured he could use his expertise and his contacts to win the competition. As a result, he spent tens of thousands of dollars, traveled some nineteen thousand miles, interogated nearly two hundred major-leaguers, missed three weddings and a funeral and ignored a fire raging in a next-dorr building. Among the things he learned was that his competiton was far more than insulated seamheads and that their analysis and research was being taken seriously by major-league teams.
Sinopsis
Every spring, millions of Americans prepare to take part in one of the oddest, most obsessive, and most engrossing rituals in the sports pantheon: Rotisserie baseball, a fantasy game where armchair fans match wits by building their own teams. In 2004, Sam Walker, a sports columnist for the Wall Street Journal , decided to explore this phenomenon by talking his way into Tout Wars, a league reserved for the nation’s top experts. The result is one of the most sheerly entertaining sports books in years and a matchless look into the heart and soul of our national pastime.
