Winter always seems like a long, bleak time. The excitement of October goes by pretty quick if your team isn’t involved in the postseason and it seems as if you’re left with nothing until April. But that’s not true at all. When the Sporting News releases their fantasy baseball magazine it’s only one small step away from the ump yelling “PLAY BALL” on opening day.

Sure, in this day and age, the internet is a more useful, more up to date source for fantasy info. But I’m always as giddy as a school girl when I see this thing on the shelves for the first time.
