Sobre IBD

Fantasy sports have become as ingrained in American culture as baseball and apple pie. There are versions of these games for football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, cricket, bull riding, bass fishing, Iditarod and many more. More than 50 million men and women in the USA play fantasy sports. 200 million play fantasy Cricket in India.The History of Fantasy Sports provides the first complete telling of how we got from the spontaneous ideas for games years ago, to the multi-billion-dollar industry of today. It’s not written as a boring research paper. The stories of the entrepreneurs who created a worldwide industry are interesting, inspirational and funny.Larry Schechter, author of the 2014 Amazon bestseller Winning Fantasy Baseball, spent 18 months researching and interviewing dozens of key players, pioneers, and entrepreneurs to uncover their stories. You will be entertained and inspired by these stories of humble beginnings turned multi-million-dollar enterprises. Schechter does a great job of capturing the passion, obsession, and love of the game behind these businesses.This reader-friendly book includes stories of the World War II hero who helped spread fantasy football; the true story of how Dan Okrent invented fantasy baseball (no, he didn’t magically think of the idea on an airplane); five nuns in a Chicago convent who co-managed a fantasy football team; a man with ALS winning his first fantasy championship after playing for 39 years; how Monica Lewinsky saved fantasy sports, and much more.ContentsPreface1.
