In terms of user participation, Fantasy Football is without question the industry standard by which all other Fantasy sports are measured. However, if you want to gauge Fantasy passion and knowledge, baseball is king.
There's no hiding in Fantasy Baseball. If you don't prepare and put in the time, the other owners in your league will devour you. A few years of consistently finishing near the bottom of your league and you'll likely drop out to avoid further humilation or you'll wise up and come to learn that third-year pitchers and 27-year olds are a good bet for a breakout season.
