Let's not forget about the biggest victims with these proposed suspensions

Fantasy players!

Violent crime would probably decrease pretty significantly....

....if people would just stop talking about their fantasy baseball teams.

Daniel Okrent

On this date in 1979 on a flight to Austin, Texas, Daniel Okrent sketches out the first draft rules for what will become Rotisserie (fantasy) League Baseball.

"I was once followed into a men's room and I actually went into the stall while this guy kept talking to me about whether he should make a trade or not. I suppose I knew then (1984) that it had become an obsession.

Remember in fantasy baseball when a losing manager would dump all his players to one guy and then quit the league?

Danny MacFayden

Born on today's date, Danny MacFayden.

Was typically undrafted in fantasy leagues for some reason.

Real baseball meets fantasy baseball

Last week at the ESPN Zone near Washingtom DC, four fantasy baseball league winners were able to meet, have dinner and discuss baseball (both the real and fantasy varieties) with Nationals manager, Jim Riggleman. Apparently the fantasy baseball winners talked with Riggleman about the World Series, free agents, the coaching staff and life in professional baseball. They also explained to Riggleman how fantasy baseball works and hopefully Riggleman was just not listening to be polite.

The event sounds kind of interesting if not maybe a little odd.

Well, anyway, above is a photo of Riggleman and a fantasy baseball guy from that night.

You will probably not need more than one guess to determine who is Riggleman and who is the fantasy baseball guy.

Just sayin.
