PERFECT FATHER’S DAY GIFT!🎁
My book, “The History of Fantasy Sports: And the Stories of the People Who Made It Happen” is the first complete history of our industry. It’s not a dry textbook — it’s packed with inspiring, funny, and surprising stories from the pioneers, entrepreneurs, and everyday players who built it.
I spent 18 months interviewing dozens of key figures to bring their personal experiences to life. Some of the highlights include:
* The true story behind Dan Okrent’s invention of fantasy baseball (hint: it wasn’t on an airplane!)
* A WWII hero who helped spread fantasy football
* Five nuns co-managing a fantasy team in a Chicago convent
* A man with ALS who finally won his league after 39 years
* The group “Women Against Fantasy Sports”
* Why @RotoWire was almost a wedding planning company
* How Monica Lewinsky saved fantasy sports… and much more!
Readers are loving it:
“Despite spending my entire career in the industry, I was enlightened by all the interviews and stories.” — Paul Charchian, Former President, Fantasy Sports Trade Association (2009–2020)
“Simply fascinating read from start to finish.” — Midwest Book Review

I’d appreciate if you’d repost this to let others know about it. Thanks!

The Chicago White Sox are now 38-32 and leading the AL Central
They just won 2/3 against the Dodgers and 4/5 on the homestand including 2 vs the Braves.
4-1 against the 2 best teams in MLB.
All while their leading OPS player Munetaka Murakami is on the IL
Sox are legit

Unbelievable

An all-time pitching performance by Jacob Misiorowski. He threw a one-hit Maddux and punched 15. The most in a >99-pitch shutout before was Tarik Skubal's 13. This is Miz finding out in real time what he can be. The velocity is mind-bending. All of it is.

The Chicago White Sox just trounced the two-time World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-2, and are in first place with a 37-31 record.
They didn't win their 37th game of the season in 2024 until Sept. 24 when they were 37-120.
Welcome to a historic turnaround.
