– Yahoo! opened the doors on fantasy baseball Tuesday, with Andy Behrens focusing on some new features for dynasty leaguers.

– Regardless of your feeling about Strat-O-Matic’s role in the creation of fantasy baseball, there’s no denying that it helped breed many a current stathead from young-geek seedling. This year marks the 50-year anniversary of the game’s creation, kicked off by a free event in New York City on Feb. 12.

– Yahoo! has rolled out Android apps for managing fantasy hockey and fantasy basketball teams.

– It’s from more than a month ago, but still interesting: Sports business reporter Sarah Talalay of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel tells us about a pair of fantasy players who have taken on fantasy football consulting duties for friends, as well as brothers who get personal help annually from CBS Sports’ Jamey Eisenberg.

– Thousands of fantasy fans — or just dudes who like dude humor — are into the second season of The League on FX. Here’s a look back on an interview TV.com did with four cast members and co-creator Jackie Marcus-Schaeffer.

The Web is abuzz each week during football season with fantasy football players firing questions at their chosen “experts.” Every Thursday night, many of those same fantasy folks tune in to the second season of a show with fantasy football at its core. Now a promotion at FantasyFootballNerd.com is weaving it all together.

FFNerd.com visitors can submit questions to be answered by the cast of FX’s The League.

“The cast will try and have as many of them answered prior to kickoff Week 8,” said Joe Dyken, head nerd at FFNerd.com. “I think it’s a pretty cool way to interact with a TV show that I believe helps bring fantasy football into mainstream America even more than it already is.”

With Week 6 of the NFL season just completed, those interested have a little less than two weeks to submit their questions. Maybe if you get really lucky, Taco will answer yours in song.*

(*Note: Song portion made up entirely by FSB.com, though you have to admit, that’d be pretty cool.)
