Silly little game (51 min.): In 1980, a group of writers, academics, and baseball fans met in New York City and created a new game: Rotisserie Baseball.

The founding fathers never foresaw how their creation would take off and ultimately leave them behind

Through personal footage recorded with Williams during his time away from football and beyond, filmmakers Sean Pamphilon and Royce Toni take a fresh look at a player who had become a media punching bag and has since redeemed himself as a father and a teammate
