What Is Fantasy Baseball?

Fantasy Baseball is a game played all across the world thanks to handy apps and websites where the participants compete against friends and family using those players’ real-life statistics to hopefully score points and win a prize pool at the end of the season. But, how did it all get started?
Well, there are different accounts of this story, some say it started with Jack Kerouac, the American novelist, and poet, at the public library drawing up his own team cards and playing a fantasy baseball game of his own invention. Others say it was started by John Burgeson an IBM computer scientist who programmed a fantasy baseball game that used past stats of players to calculate what team would be the winning one. But others state that fantasy baseball’s popularity started during the 1981 baseball strike by sports journalists that had nothing to report on and started reporting on their fantasy baseball leagues.
But what’s real is that today Fantasy Baseball has turned from a casual game between friends to an activity that can be played in large groups, on apps, and online.
