Have you guys heard of this? Apparently, its just like fantasy baseball, except you cna draft players from 1900 and above! You could have Mickey Mantle, Manny Ramirez and Cy Young on the same team?
I'm not even sure how it would work, but I just saw it advertised on a website today...
Do they generate the stats randomly? Or could you look back at a players stats for a game and see how they played back in 1961?
I'm really confused by this.
Someone needs to clear it up...

No, Strat-O Matic. It's a great game. Check it out. A precursor of Rottisserie baseball, from whence all fantasy sports have come.

Yeah, I know all about Rotisserie...
I just read a book about it actually, by a sportswriter who played with the main rotisserie group...
Decent read...Kind of out of date though, if it had been about last year it would have been much more interesting...
