Fantasy leagues started over a decade ago with baseball lovers in New York City who came up with a kooky idea to create their own teams and keep track of their stats and standings. The group penned a book on the subject, which never really took off, but the idea of a fantasy league evolved over the ‘90s in small circles of die-hard sports fans. With the rise of the Internet, fantasy leagues became an entirely different beast and are now a full-blow business that brings in major money for blogs and websites.
