Things I Enjoy In My Spare Time

hockeyI have played Strat-O-Matic baseball since I was eleven years old. Basically Strat-O-Matic is a simulation game where each player from each team has his own playing card and pitchers and hitters cards are used to determine the outcome of every at-bat.

The Strat-O-Matic Company was established in 1962 when its founder Hal Richmond decided to create cards for each player and then use dice to determine which outcome on which card would be the result of the play. Since its founding as a baseball simulation Strat has developed other sports games including Pro and College Football, Pro Basketball, and Pro Hockey. In the early 1990's the company developed their original table top dice game into a cdrom version which has since evolved into a net play simulation allowing Strat gamers from all over the world to form and join leagues and compete for Championships.

I have been involved in competitive leagues since 1995 and I am the current commissioner of three different leagues. I also designed, built, and maintain the websites for those leagues. Links to these leagues can be found on my home page.

From My Baseball Stratogists Bio

I have been designing Strat-O-Matic League Web sites for six years and writing about baseball since 1995, originally contributing to the Schwartz League News, a Strat-O-Matic face to face league which began play in 1995. I have been playing Strat-O-Matic since 1983, including founding the American Association in 2003, and have held the commissioner position in five leagues for a total of nine years. I also played amateur baseball from 1990 to 1995, including one year of baseball at Blackburn University in Illinois.
