Phil Allard has a feature up today at WCBS NEWSRADIO 880 entitled “Remembering the Days of Strat-O-Matic.”
Amazing as this may sound, it’s true: I have never, ever, played Strat-O-Matic in my entire life.
Yet, every single time that I hear something about it, I get the feeling that it’s something that I would have really enjoyed playing. How I missed out on this one, I dunno? Gotta score this one E-Lombardi, I suppose. Maybe when my kids are a little older, I can get them started on it and I can join in on the fun – finally.
Never played Strat-O-Matic?! My folks got it for me for my 12th birthday (1987) and I still have it in tact.
Best baseball game ever. No doubt about it.
Yup, played this and APBA for the first time when I was about 10-11 years old. My friend Gary owned both games so I had to go to his house to play ‘em.
I believe it was while playing this game I learned the proper pronunciation of this player’s last name:

You mean it’s not “Le-Feeber”…? I’ll be darned.
