An entertaining and incisive chronicle from one of the foremost authorities in fantasy baseball Ron Shandler is a self-described rotoholic. In the beginning, he hoarded newspaper box scores and pored over every number at his disposal. Then came the compulsion to create his own numbers. A monthly newsletter expanded into an annual Baseball Forecaster book, which spawned a media company, websites, tournaments, and more. Part memoir, part madcap history, Fantasy Expert is a fascinating and wide-ranging look at the modern growth and development of the game that went from cottage industry to national obsession. In chronicling his own escalating journey from rotisserie baseball hobbyist to professional authority, Shandler tells parallel tales of the rise of fantasy sports, the expanding baseball information industry, the increasingly sophisticated technology employed to gain an edge, and the fellow rotoholics who make it all possible. He also delves into the impact of fantasy baseball on the sport of baseball itself.Written with humor, honesty, and a deep passion for baseball, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, progression, and future of fantasy baseball.

Cricket is a popular sport played throughout the world, particularly in countries such as Australia, England, South Africa, and the West Indies. The game is played between two teams, both teams consisting of eleven players. The team that scores the most runs ultimately wins the match. Cricket is played on a large oval-shaped field, with a rectangular strip of land in the center known as the pitch. One team, the batting team, tries to score runs by hitting the ball and running between the wickets, while the other team, the fielding team, tries to get the batsmen out and prevent them from scoring runs.
