Thanks for that article, Booga... I didn't know the origins of the "Rotisserie" expression.

<i><b>As fantasy owners prepare for another year of MLB.com fantasy leagues and the wonderful anticipation of spring drafts, consider for a moment how this all began. It started on a flight and then over French food. Dan Okrent was flying to Texas on Nov. 17, 1979, when he scripted the first rules for a statistics-based league. Two weeks later, the New York writer pitched the idea to like-minded friends with whom he lunched monthly at La Rotisserie Francaise, then a Manhattan restaurant.</i></b>

I'm chompin' at the bit to start a fresh season.
