About
Silly little game: "In 1980, a group of writers and academics met at La Rotisserie Francaise in New York City and formed a baseball league of their own, the Rotisserie League. The game quickly grew in popularity, and today, fantasy sports is a multi-billion dollar industry with over 30 million participants."--Container. Run Ricky run: "Take an intimate look at Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams, one of football's most fascinating athletes and misunderstood persons."--Container. The 16th man: "The true story behind the Oscar-nominated film, Invictus. Following the fall of apartheid, Nelson Mandela used sport to achieve national unity, rallying all South Africans around the country's Springbok team during the 1995 Rugby World Championships."--Container.
