  • Summary

  • Dive into the little-known beginnings of fantasy football: how fantasy golf in the late 1950s sparked the idea, why Bill “Wink” Winkenbach and the Oakland Raiders played a key role, and how a small league in Oakland, California eventually morphed into the multi-billion-dollar phenomenon we know today. Meet Andrew Mousalimas, the first recorded fantasy football champion, and see why Jim Brown was such a powerhouse pick in a purely touchdown-centric system.
