I guess I am an NL-Only Rotisserie League guy cause I played that game for so many years. I always played 5x5 Roto with what is known as the classic roto catagories. We played with the following 5 offensive and 5 pitching catagories.
The offensive catagories were:
1. Batting Average
2. Home Runs
3. Runs Batted In
4. Stolen Bases
5. Runs Scored
The five pitching categories were:
1. Wins
2. Saves
3. Earned Run Average
4. Ratio- which is Walks+Hits/Innings Pitched
5. Strikeouts
So of course, classic rotisserie baseball was the first game I put on Fantasy Sports R Us when I designed it. I must admit I was very surprised when my favorite game, NL-Only roto, proved to be a specialty game. Mixed league rotisserie dwarfed it in popularity.
While FSRU charges today is the same as it was when it began filling leagues for the 2002 season- $150 per team- In 2007, it added the same game at a bigger team cost- $300 per team- and bigger payouts. While I had little exposure to head to head baseball, the popularity of this up and coming game made that a must add on the site as well in that first year. While head to head was the norm in fantasy football, it was a relatively new game that took off with the younger players around 2000.
