I wonder if I'm a fantasy sports elitist. Friends (mostly chicks) ask me about fantasy football, why they don't understand it, whether I like it, blah, blah, blah, and I usually have to explain that I'm much more interested in fantasy baseball than football. When asked if I'm looking forward to fantasy football season starting, I sort of raise my nose to the ceiling and roll my eyes in this defiant tone, sort of like some wannabe-Carrie Bradshaw Manhattanite who's asked if she shops at Macy's.
Anyway, I prefer fantasy baseball for three reasons: 1) Injuries don't kill your team the way they do in football, 2) the season is much longer, thus making any accomplishment that much more rewarding, and 3) the length of the baseball season cancels out all the casual fans who typically get a rise out of playing fantasy football.
