One of my favorite things about sports is the idea of “fantasy sports.” Fantasy sports are a lot of fun. I play in several fantasy football leagues, I play fantasy baseball, I even joined up in a fantasy basketball league (that I did poorly in) this year because my buddy needed an extra player. It’s fun to be able to imagine what a team would look like if you had the power to assemble one yourself. You kind of get to play General Manager for a day in fantasy land.
One of the most unique things about the game of baseball is the trading card hobby that is around the game.
