In praise of... Strat-o-Matic Baseball
| Some time in the late 1980's, I got my first Strat-o-matic Baseball set and fell in love with the game. In 1986, I cheered (then cried) as The Red Sox got within one strike of winning the World Series. By 1988, I was a crazy baseball fanatic. I am not kidding -- I'm not sure which were the causes and which the effects. |  |
How could a board game consisting of a bunch of cardboard cards and some dice turn someone from a fan into a get-a-life fanatic? Strat-o-matic is that good.
Don't believe me? Check out this great report from NPR. (For Red Sox fans, don't miss the extra interview pieces with Jon Miller, which include a great impression of the late Fenway Park PA announcer Sherm Feller.)
