Do you know how Rotisserie Baseball got its name?
"Fantasy's roots can be traced to Rotisserie baseball, which was named, Mr. Okrent said, by the original players, who met for a monthly, nonvirtual baseball chat session over lunch in the early 1980's at La Rotisserie Francaise in New York. Unlike many newer fantasy leagues, Rotisserie baseball closely mirrors a real league, with complicated trades and no player allowed on more than one roster at a time." From the
New York Times, June 7, 2001, Technology section. So it was named after a restaurant!
