Baseball Instinct – Do You Have It?

The 2010 Teams that could be giving fits to the teams vying for a pennant. Check out Mike Koepp's take on the race.

It’s not easy being part of a pennant race let alone being a young player involved in a pennant race. What we have seen in the past week is what keeps teams out of the post season.

If you are a frustrated fan tired of your favorite teams' player managing and contract signings, or think you could do better than Joe Torre, Terry Francona or Earl Weaver. You then may be a potential Strat-O-Matic Baseball fan. First off a little history, Strat-O-Matic Baseball has been around since 1961, has a large group of dedicated and demented users involved with a number of gaming leagues as well as groups on the internet. It's available as a game in two ways. The classic board game with dice and cards or the newer sexier computer version.
