Fantasy Baseball
I've been thinking about Fantasy Baseball recently, and the Wikipedia says:
The landmark development in fantasy baseball came with the development of Rotisserie League Baseball in 1980. Magazine writer/editor Daniel Okrent is credited with inventing it, the name coming from the restaurant where the game was invented.
Daniel Okrent, Daniel Okrent, I know that name... he was the first "Public Editor" of the NY Times, who would write weekly articles in the Week in Review exposing the fundamental flaws & biases of the Times. Funny how these smart public figures have consistently made contributions to the world in ways that don't connect with the reason why you may know them. Intelligence, this reminds us, is not a particular skill set but a general skill set, that can be applied everywhere.
