Fantasy, Reconstructed

Imagine a world where Dan Okrent fell asleep on his flight instead of inventing Rotisserie League Baseball. Or a world where "Wink" Winkenbach stuck to selling tile instead of planting the seeds for fantasy football. Chances are, someone would have eventually come up with a game where we compete to build the best team of real players, but it would probably have taken a different form than today's versions. In "Fantasy, Reconstructed: The Innovator's Playbook for Fantasy Sports," industry pioneer Ron Shandler ponders the different paths fantasy could have taken. He disassembles the elements of today's games, considers all the different options, and suggests ways to create better fantasy sports experiences.
