For $1,300, you can secure a spot at the table for the National Fantasy Baseball Championship's March 21 draft, which you have to physically attend in one of four cities: New York City, Chicago, Las Vegas or Orlando, Fla. The fantasy participants are divided into 27 leagues, each consisting of 15 teams. Performance is based on five hitting categories batting average, home runs, RBIs, stolen bases and runs and five pitching categories wins, saves, earned run average, strikeouts and WHIP ratio (walks plus hits, divided by innings pitched). League champs each snatch $5,000; the overall winner gets the $100,000 grand prize.
