Well my strat story isn't as lengthy as the rest of you because its kinda of hard to remember. But I will give it a shot. I couldn't have been much older then 8 or 9 and I attended a strat draft with Dad (Scott) at Biv's place I think but I am not sure. I tired my hardest to convince Dad to draft Sammy Sosa which he did, and I think Mark McGwire as well. As the years went on, up here in good old New York, Dad and I started our own little Strat league. The first year I did pretty good because we just took the teams as they were. The second year we wanted to do a draft and well, alls I was interested in was the BIG bats. So I stacked my teams with the heavy hitters and didn't really care about my pitching staff. I learned very quickly, thats not going to work. O yes I will never forget on a very close game Dad and I had going. Dad was ahead in a very important game, and I rolled a HR 1-18 or out. This would take the win. I rolled the dice.........20!!! I was very upset, I believe I threw the cards and dice and stomped off. lol Well there you have it. I hope to make many more strat memories as the time rolls on!
WAHOO its STRAT Season!!!!

Hahaha -- "Biv's Place" -- That sounds like a local tavern, and easily could become a Strat team name.
It is true - I did draft both Sammy and McGwire in the crack house of strat. Plenty of power, lots of fun, no pitching and few wins....
