30 FOR 30

SILLY LITTLE GAME

Before fantasy sports became a billion-dollar industry, it was just a quirky obsession among a group of baseball-loving academics and journalists in the 1980s.

Silly Little Game tells the fascinating and often hilarious story of the birth of fantasy baseball—how a handful of self-proclaimed nerds created Rotisserie League Baseball in a New York City restaurant, only to watch their brainchild explode into a cultural phenomenon.

This 30 for 30 documentary captures the joy, the absurdity, and the lasting legacy of a pastime that changed sports fandom forever.
