Fellow list members:
The game company has announced on its Web site "a bounty of new
seasons and all-star sets" from all the pro sports.
The one baseball-related announcement is arguably the biggest
surprise. After arguing for literally decades that such a project
would be impossible to do, Strat-O-Matic is coming out with a Negro
Leagues all-star set. The 108 cards will be ready for delivery by
Christmas.
I personally would love to see this set, if the price is right. We're
talking the equivalent of only four teams, so I wouldn't expect it to
cost more than $10, if that. The game company doesn't say whether it's
using lifetime or best-season stats for the cards. Perhaps "best guess"?
Fans of the football game will get to buy all-time franchise teams.
Great idea! Now when is this going to be done for baseball??
