ARCHIVE: Man’s wife spends fantasy winnings in single trip to grocery store

Enjoy this encore presentation of a classic SSNN piece.

ANN ARBOR, MI — Last week Brian Babbit, 36, was on top of the world. The avid fantasy sports participant won his 12-team fantasy baseball league, raking in a cool $240 in the process.

But one shopping trip by his wife Linda has Babbit furious.

“I did everything right this year,” Babbit said. “I picked A-Rod and Matt Holliday early to solidify my offense. I got Fausto Carmona and Dustin Pedroia off waivers. I even got Hanley Ramirez in a trade – everything was coming up Babbster.”

Babbit’s mood quickly turned sour when he spoke about his winnings, though.

“The money wasn’t in our bank account for a week before Linda spent it,” he said. “And she spent it on groceries! I was hoping I could buy something memorable for myself. I mean, it’s not every year you dominate a league like I did.”

Babbit explained that because the league awards cash prizes, there was no trophy given to the winners. He said he has petitioned the league to pool together enough money for a trophy, but so far has only encountered bitter owners who enjoyed less success this season.

Linda, a stay-at-home mom and admitted enemy of all fantasy sports, was quick to defend herself when reached for comment.

“Do you know how much things cost these days?” she said. “I could spend twice that much money at Whole Foods. Brian just doesn’t understand the cost–or, for that matter, the importance–of organic vegetables.”
