Go for it, boys. As an occasional Stratomatic player and lifelong APBA player, I love your passion for your games. Shaking the dice is therapy for all that life offers us old dice gamers.

I have played Strat-O-Matic baseball (and football and basketball) since 1977. It has been one of my favorite hobbies. I hope the guys are able to set the record.

What a great game - I can't wait to teach my son to play and carry on the tradition. I hope these two guys make it!

"Since 1962, long before fantasy baseball (invented by Strat-O-Matic player Daniel Okrent) or the EA Sports baseball video game (invented by Strat-O-Matic player Trip Hawkins) came along, kids of all ages could manage their own team of big-leaguers" -- and APBA has been around since 1951, long before Strat-O-Matic. Good to see these two gamers playing the game they love.
