Fort Lauderdale, Florida -- February 24, 1997 -- SportsLine USA (www.sportsline.com) has unveiled the Internet's most comprehensive Fantasy Baseball package. It includes several features not duplicated anywhere on the Web. Heading the list are: the Advance Scout, the fantasy research headquarters for all fantasy fans; Fantasy Baseball LIVE!, which lets players follow members of their own fantasy teams during every Major League game; the exciting new SportsLine Commissioner, which allows fans to manage their existing leagues based on each league's individual rules; and SportsLine Baseball Challenge, where contestants can compete for exciting prizes.

The unique, time-saving Advance Scout eliminates the drudgery of pre-draft cramming that has plagued fantasy players for years. Statistical databases provide on-demand lists, analyses, and evaluations in seconds instead of hours or days and continue to update statistics and trends throughout the season. Player tracking lets users monitor players for any date range and even receive daily scouting reports by e-mail. The statistics projector will forecast individual player statistics for a day, a series, or even a week.

Fantasy Baseball LIVE! lets fantasy managers follow their teams like never before. Fantasy Baseball LIVE! shows the action of customized fantasy team players as they bat or pitch.

The SportsLine Commissioner is an all-inclusive package that allows fans to run their own fantasy leagues. The Commissioner keeps track of everything from drafts, transactions, scoring and statistics, to reporting, utilizing league rules customized by the fan. Available for just $39.95 per league, the SportsLine Commissioner provides benefits superior to those of services costing hundreds of dollars more.

SportsLine Baseball Challenge, which consists of over 110 daily head-to-head matchups, features improved draft and team control. "Team owners" make decisions about real-world problems like injuries, schedules, slumps, trades, and payroll while competing for Grand ($10,000) and weekly prizes (autographed memorabilia), as well as league cash prizes via SportsLine's unique head-to-head system.

"Fantasy baseball continues to grow in popularity across the country," said Michael Levy, SportsLine CEO. "Our Fantasy Baseball product line-up makes the game even more fun by providing useful services in an easy-to-use interface. While SportsLine's fantasy baseball coverage was wildly successful last year, we have significantly upgraded the depth and variety of services for 1997."

SportsLine USA's fantasy baseball coverage does not stop there; other valuable features include:

· In-depth Minor League Coverage allows fans to track their favorite players from Rookie Ball all the way to the Big Show.

· Fantasy Sports Tonight, the nation's only live radio program exclusively for fantasy sports fans, broadcasts over the Internet from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday. It provides expert analysis, guests, and fan interaction.

· Fight for Jobs, gives daily and weekly reports on every lineup, rotation, and bullpen from the Grapefruit and Cactus Spring Training Leagues. This is a valuable source for those all-important lineup projections.

The above features, combined with SportsLine's award-winning baseball coverage, make for a complete one-stop site for fantasy baseball fans.

Spokespersons and advisors for the 80,000 page Web site include Joe Namath, Mike Schmidt, Arnold Palmer, Shaquille O'Neal, Jerry Rice, Bill Walton, Keyshawn Johnson, Gabrielle Reece, Pete Sampras, Monica Seles, Joe Montana, and John Daly.
