Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365 is a fun way to enjoy the Strat-O-Matic Baseball game. You can create a league with friends or just sign up for a league. Usually the league has around 12 teams. Each team can spent around $1 million dollars on team payroll. You choose 25 players for your roster and then you receive your team. If a very popular player is the number 1 pick for several teams, the Strat-O-Matic team will try to give you a player of comparable value. You can choose from many leagues, such as the 1986 baseball season or an all time greats league where Babe Ruth, Josh Gibson and Tom Seaver are all in the same league. You also choose a ballpark for your team, you can choose an existing park or a historic park or create one of your own. Once all the teams are drafted and each manager has selected his rotation, lineups and strategy options, the Strat-O-Matic 365 plays all the games. During the season, funds are added to your payroll. If a player is underperforming, you can cut him and pick up a player of comparable value. With some leagues, if you draft Don Mattingly you don’t know if you are getting his 1984, 1985 or 1990 season card. Each mystery player has five card years that can be picked. Each team costs around $25. I would recommend playing.
I am 60 years of age, I am a long time fan of Strat-O-Matic, Bill James, the Red Sox, SABR member since 1982. I enjoy the baseball writing of Roger Angell, Thomas Boswell and Rob Neyer.
