Retirement of an Icon

An article posted in the Online Wall Street Journal last night announces the retirement from fantasy baseball of a Rotisserie League founding father. That leaves just one of the originals left in the league.

The article mentions that the orginal owners were invited to Cooperstown a few years ago to be honored on the 25th Anniversary of the league. With the CFCL's 25th Anniversary coming up in 2009, we'd all better start watching our mailboxes for invitations...

Here's a link to the article:

Note that it was written by Nando Di Fino, who was one of Sam Walker's assistant in the book Fantasyland. The article also includes a video interview with Di Fino, which doesn't add a whole lot, but the article itself is a great read.
