What a season, RotoBallers. Fantasy baseball is always a fun, interesting, and long season - filled with injuries, breakout players, and different strategies. It takes stamina and endurance to win the six month marathon, and we're here today to recognize those who pulled it off.
With over 200 teams competing to be crowned champ of the 2017 Fantasy Baseball RotoBaller Challenge (and to have their bank account padded a bit more), only one prevailed. Below is the final update, showing the leaders through the end of the season.
In case you missed it, the RotoBaller Challenge is a fantasy baseball tournament with lots of prizes, powered by Fantrax. In 2018 we will expand into the two division setup outlined in the RotoBaller Challenge homepage. The 2018 Division 1 roll call will be put together this offseason.

This was no easy feat, as 216 teams competed for the gold, and you defeated all of them. You are a true RotoBaller!
