What is Fantasy Baseball?

I have been asked a question lately about fantasy baseball, and a lot of you may not know what it is. Here is a explanation of Fantasy baseball:

There are 2 kinds of fantasy baseball: roto and head-to-head.
I will explain roto, the kind of league I am in right now:

After you get a team and do the draft, the League manager will have a set roster size and stats to keep track of. Once you set your rosters (who is starting and sitting) before the season, the computer will keep track of stats for all your starters. Here is an example for offense: say that one of your league's stats is Homeruns, and my team has 13 at the end of the month. Say that out of 10 teams, I have the 3rd most, so I would get 7 points (1st would get 10, last would get 1, etc.) and the same for the rest of the stats. If you go to the standings, all the points are added together for every stat, and the team with the most points is in first.

If your team, or any other, passes someone else in a category by getting a better number in that category, they gain a point and maybe a place in the standings. If a team has the same number in a stat, each team gets a half point. The total number of points possible is the number of teams times 10.

I hope this has helped at least one person understand fantasy baseball better.
