Fantastic book! This is both educational and familiar for the casual Rotisserie player. Walker digs in and describes the history and the personalities involved in the origins of Rotisserie baseball (including the source of the term Rotisserie!). Walker writes in an engaging way that lets you feel like you are meeting these same people and forming similar opinions based observation.

At the same time, Walker describes his first season as a manager and all the ups and downs. To anyone who has played, these events are funny because they are so familiar. The agony and the ecstasy are easily recognizable and, yet, we can laugh at the geekiness in ourselves.

A great book about a fun topic!
