Hi Jeff, since it looks like your question was answered, I think it would also be interesting to know how you found SOM online?
Longtime boardgame player who didn't know this existed? Saw it in an ad online?
Like many here, I was a long time boardgame player, then began playing in a limited fashion in 2003, first starting with the 20xx games.
Has been an occasional curiosity to many of us over the years how to attract players and what an optimized community growth model looks like. Most everyone here loves baseball passionately, the nuances and stats in particular, and SOMO fills a unique entertainment gap for people that are a bit more analytical than the average fantasy-style gamer. One glance at the folks in the BS Finals league and you would note these are not just "lucky" players--they are all great thinkers and competitors.
Overall, I think the game is vastly improved since SOM took the reins. Very much hope you enjoy the game and the community. Best of luck--lots of great information here and as you may have seen, the community aspect can be a superb enhancement to a fun game.
Cheers
