One thought on “Ron Shandler Inducted Into the FSWA Hall of Fame!”

  1. It has gotten into the mainstream that I invented – or started – Tout Wars, and I guess I got caught up in it briefly here. The truth is that I sent out the initial email recruiting other distgruntled LABR owners to start up a “rebel” league (and in fact, it was called REBEL, or RotisseriE Baseball Experts League, for awhile before we adopted Alex Patton’s suggestion of Tout Wars). But after that email, I was merely the coordinator. Folks like Peter Kreutzer and Irwin Zwilling did a lot of the heavy lifting, securing a public draft venue (All Star Cafe in Manhattan, now as defunct as Le Rotisserie Francais) and celebrity auctioneer (Billy Sample), and fighting off the intellectual property police. So I apologize if it ever appears that all of this – the website, the collection of experts, the history, the book, the movie, all of it – is in any way my fault.
