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.

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.
