...warning are already too late. Certainly the imaginary game that was born among the literary elite has already taken irreversible root among the undergraduate population of one of America’s most elite universities. Dan Okrent, first public editor of The New York Times, thought up the cruel sport, which came to be named after the Manhattan restaurant, La Rotiss�rie Fran�aise, where he and his fellow New York cognoscenti (and members of the first-ever Roto league) gathered to lunch and talk baseball...

Generally, those who disagree cite the deliberate pacing or the sexless antics or the eternal schedule as the sources of their discontent with the national pastime. These folks tend to prefer the ceaseless flow of soccer, the constant scoring of basketball, or the explosiveness of football to baseball and its subtler charms. In the way of counter-argument, I present the idyllic settings of ballparks, the tactical nuance that goes into every strategic decision, and the unmatched tension...
