Thanks #22: Fantasy Sports

Ryan introduced me to fantasy baseball 15 or so years ago. I won the first league I played in, and in the years since have become what I never was in high school: a three-sport athlete, and a winning one at that. It blends competitive instinct with intense analysis for those who are into that sort of thing. It keeps me informed about even the least useful players in baseball, basketball and football. And in the many examples of championships, serves as validation.
