Ron Shandler, a renowned authority in fantasy baseball, has penned an engaging and insightful chronicle that delves into the captivating world of the sport. Describing himself as a self-proclaimed "rotoholic," Shandler's journey began with hoarding newspaper box scores and meticulously analyzing every number at his disposal. This obsession led to the creation of his own numbers, which eventually expanded into a monthly newsletter that blossomed into an annual Baseball Forecaster book.
