Strat-O-Matic Baseball Recognizes the Negro Leagues
November 19, 2009
One of the joys in life is to, over a beer or something stronger, talk about the great” what if’s” of history. What if Joe Louis in his prime fought Muhammad Ali in his prime? How would Babe Ruth fare if he were playing ball today? What if Negro League teams played major league teams back in the bad days of segregation?
Well we are going to have an opportunity to find out. The Strat-O-Matic Baseball people are bringing us a 103 card Negro League set. Now, those beer drinking guys and there more sober compatriots can sit around a board, throw the dice, compare the stats and pitch Negro League teams against any major league team in history.
Those of you who are unfamiliar with the Strat-O-Matic line may be amused to see that people still want to play with these non-computerized, truly old school products. Yet, there is a steady following that embraces the game and will grab hold of this one.
Great job Strat-O-Matic; you did the right thing!
