Best Books on Fantasy Sports graphic

Introduction

​Fantasy sports have exploded over the past decade. I still remember the days when I'd manually search box scores in the newspaper and add up my team's stats for the week. Our league was comprised of guys in the neighborhood, and the yearly prize was a measly sum of cash. 

At the time, we played for fun and pride. As technology caught up, algorithms were built, mobile platforms constructed, and daily leagues introduced. The simplicity of the neighborhood league would never be the same. 

Today, fantasy sports connect people, players, and media in a multi-billion dollar industry. Did you say billions? 

According to Statista, $9.48 billion was wagered on fantasy sports in the U.S. in 2022. That's a 12.3% increase from 2021, and then number should eclipse $10 billion for 2023. 

As the stakes have gone up, strategies have had to evolve. 

In today's article, we are going to explore some of the best books on fantasy sports that are available today.

​Sports broadcasting is an important aspect of the world of sports. It is through sports broadcasting that millions of people around the world get to witness their favorite teams, players, and games in action. ESPN as a network has changed the way we consume sports as fans, with 24-hour coverage. When Sportscenter was first introduced, the concept of having round the clock sports news was considered crazy. Who would watch it?  

Years later, can you imagine a world without it?

Maybe you want to be a sports radio host, a play-by-play announcer, or a sports commentator of some sort. Or, maybe you're simply fascinated with how this stuff works.

10 Great Athlete Tell-All Books Worth a Read

Athlete Tell-All Books graphic
When I hear the phrase "tell all," I imagine a recap show of a drama series on Bravo. While some athlete tell-alls are exactly that, others have no intention of throwing shade at other people. Rather, they are look backs straight from the source on what happened, why it happened, and often other details that nobody else would know. 

It's for that reason that these books typically fall into one of those two categories. Some people want and love the drama; others just want the facts straight from the horse's mouth. Regardless of which camp you're in, I'm confident you'll find some of each in the list below. From inspirational sports memoirs to behind-the-scenes looks at critical games or matches, you may have a different perspective on history following some of these reads.
