While Earl Weaver's Orioles tore the American League apart with 109 wins, a star-filled Cub squad wilted in the heat and dropped a 9 1/2 game lead to the Miracle Mets. Relive the glory days of these legendary teams and more, and set your strawberry alarm clock back to the summer of '69. Afro pick not included.

No fewer than [i:69d2f1187e]15[/i:69d2f1187e] 20-game winners ruled the Majors, including greats like Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal and Tom Terrific. Harmon Killebrew led the league with 49 homers and Frank Howard makes his SOM Online debut with his 48 jacks. Oh, and the Seattle Pilots!

Some notable rules differences from previous games:
- Auto leagues are by default non-DH
- Closer rule is not in effect
- Minimum pitchers on your in-season roster is now 9
- Minimum players on your in-season roster is now 24

I'll work on getting a making an Excel spreadsheet available with all player salaries for ease of reference.

Enjoy the summer of '69!
Bernie H.


Edit: An Excel spreadsheet with the player pool and prices is now available at:

how about the fact that many of the sp/rp's (guys who only started 5 games per se) don't have their starter rating activated. It shows on the card, but they come up as a RP only? :?:

bernie,

i appreciate any new strato game, but why 1969? cant we do a best of 90's or something?

by the way, totally off topic, but can we get rid of the sp * ratings? no pitchers really throw on 3 days rest anymore so it just detracts from the reality of the game.
