Fantasy as Reality
There's no escaping the fact that fantasy sports are as pivotal to our love of games as all the real-life trials and tribulations are themselves. And speaking of trials, Bloomberg has just launched its own foray into the fantasy-baseball world by offering Bloomberg Sports on MLB for $31.95 a month. Bloomberg's stats are certainly impressive: if you need to know the speed and location of every ball a pitcher throws to a certain batter on a 2-2 count with a man on first, Bloomberg can provide this information in about 10 seconds. What's more, Bloomberg is also offering around-the-clock customer support. And with the teams as well as the fans being offered this service, the lines between reality and fantasy might just have become even more blurred.
