Come with us Back to the '90s, when beasts like [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=910&pool_id=90][b:b3b74f6672]Mike Piazza[/b:b3b74f6672][/url] and [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=3176&pool_id=90][b:b3b74f6672]Mark McGwire[/b:b3b74f6672][/url] roamed the earth, doing battle with fearsome foes like [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=3669&pool_id=90][b:b3b74f6672]Pedro Martinez[/b:b3b74f6672][/url] and [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/about/player.html?player_id=2743&pool_id=90][b:b3b74f6672]Kevin Brown[/b:b3b74f6672][/url].
This is the first set in the [url=http://somonline.wikia.com/wiki/Mystery_Card_format][b:b3b74f6672]Mystery Card format[/b:b3b74f6672][/url] since The '70s Game, and the first Mystery Card set on the central SOM Online umbrella site. Being on the central site brings many game enhancements to Mystery Card fans for the first time, including [url=http://somonline.wikia.com/wiki/Bullpen_v2]Bullpen v2[/url], [url=http://somonline.wikia.com/wiki/Live_Draft]Live Drafts[/url], and [url=http://somonline.wikia.com/wiki/League_sizes]24-team leagues[/url]!
For the uninitiated, the Mystery Card format is an innovation in simulation baseball that opens up new spectrums of strategy and analysis. In a Mystery Card league, for each player you have on your team, you get one card out of his 5 possible pre-selected years... but you never find out which one.

Notes:
- Here's the handy [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/images/stratomatic/salaries/salaries_public_90s.xls]Excel file[/url] with all the players with their stats and salaries. Note that that the first set of 2 worksheets has each hitter and pitcher's averaged stat line, and there's a second set of 2 worksheets that includes every possible year.
- You can immediately use your available "universal" SOM team credits to play, and even switch an existing undrafted team to Btt90s with ease. The item you want to purchase (or claim as a prize from a Finals team) is labeled "Strat-O-Matic Baseball Online: ATG, 2007-2009, 1999, 1986, Btt90s".
- Live Drafts for this set are available effective immediately!
- As I previously indicated: instead of creating yet another sub-forum for Btt90s discussion, we're going to merge the '70s, '80s and '90s into one "Mystery Card / decade" forum.
Thanks! HAVE FUN!
