Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Cool story, I knew Keith Hernandez was into the game, Doug Glanville and Bob Costas too. I wonder if there has been a surge in online players during this epidemic? This article is darn good publicity for the game, might be the only baseball we're left with this year!

Very nice! I love it when Keith references Strat during the SNY (Mets channel) broadcasts.

I like to tell my wife, "See, even Keith Hernandez plays strat." I don't think she is too impressed, though.

Thirty five years ago when I was a 32 yr old I belonged to a Strato board game league. I think we had 12 or so guys in the league and we all lived in the greater New York area mostly on Long Island and we would travel to each others homes to play our series. It was just about the this time of the year and my wife was in her 9th month of pregnancy with our 2nd child. On a Saturday afternoon my wife noticed me putting my Strat bag together [ my lucky 20 sided dice and score sheets] and asked "what are you doing"? while holding my 2 year old on her very pregnant belly. With all the innocence of an idiot I replied on" my way to Johns house in West Chester" [I live in Long Beach on L.I.] needless to say and if I remember correctly I required surgery to have my lucky 20 sided removed from my head and score sheets removed from my ass. My wife is not a big fan of Strat so I wont bother to show her the Hernandez article. I did get a little satisfaction I have 3 sons and they all play the board game. Bill

Very cool guys. Geeks unite.

I also grew up on Long Island (Port Jeff Station) and there was another company kind of like Strat that our "sandlot" league players were some of the first players when it started up: Boxscore Sports. They are still out there but almost like gambling now and bigger money. Very cool draft concept that included farm teams, waiver and FA rules similar to MLB, and results of games based on a hybrid game engine that would take the stats for the week (or daily now) and run everything through a sim that accounted for certain ways you would choose to use players.

And Bill--looks like we weren't too far from each other. Long Beach was a nice place.

Im still in Long Beach and love it. I went to college next door to you at SUNY Stony Brook.

Great stuff and great school! Good ol Nicolls Rd
