FTA: “• Fantasy baseball hadn’t developed beyond a few sportswriter friends playing at the La Rotisserie Francaise restaurant in New York City.”

Stratomatic Baseball turned 20 years old in 1981. Suck it Rotisserie!

I have one of my season tickets from the ’86 season on the wall over my desk. I took a peek at it the price for a game was $8.00.

That’s 36MZRS Sec 20 Row L Seat 9

What’s it going for now?

What do you young whipper-snappers know about memories? When I was a kid you had to walk up a hill, five miles, in the snow, both ways… and I had to share ONE memory with my 11 brothers and sisters! WHY I OUGHTA!

Actually, you’re not THAT much younger than me! :)

Well, in all fairness, the last game at Shea was anything but. Now it’s time to prove that it was just one game. They did a good job of that in AZ.

And, Gipper91375 graduated Kindergarten in May of 1981 (Epiphany School, East 22nd St, Manhattan). Ah, the memories.

‘Cause it’s baseball, and it’s supposed to be fun.

Yes!! “YER OUT!” kind of sounded like a loud beer-fueled burp.

That’s the first game I ever owned that had anything even close to a voice.

Remember the ump?

“YER OUR!”
