In his posts, I've seen lboros make mention of Strat-O-Matic baseball a few times, and it made me remember my days of playing Statis-Pro baseball, made by Avalon Hill.  I never played Strat-O-Matic, but I spent HOURS playing Ststis Pro.  They even gave you directions on how to calculate ratings for players so you could make your own cards or teams.  We recreated our little league team (we finished 3rd in the AL West), I got a baseball encyclopedia for my birthday one year and we recreated the entire 1967 AL and did the pennant race (Twins won in a walk), and we made cards of players that had remarkable years, like Ruth's 60 home runs (HR range was a mind boggling 27-41), and Gibson's 1968 season..PB 2-9. hit range 11-14., K range 17-34, about as automatic a win as there was.  In the days before the Internet, this kept us occupied for entire Minnesota winters.

Thanks for the fond memories, lboros, but are there any other Statis-Pro fans out there, or were we a Strat-O-Matic nation, and me and my friends were the oddballs?

And did anyone that play both be willing to give their vote on the better game?
