This is Season One Episode Eight and the topic is one of Don's favorite sports activities, the sports simulation game called Strat-o-matic.  For several years he has been a user and fan of the game.  He will give some us background on the game and tell about his replay of the 1975 Reds World Series run.  Did they do as well in the game as they did in real life?  Could Babe Ruth hit as many home runs against modern pitchers?  Is Strat-o-matic the best fantasy league game?   Don recounts his Strat-o-matic replay with the 1975 Reds and his plan to match Yankee greats against a variety of World Series winners.
