No gloves needed
Baseball fans use dice to play game
By John Williams Of the Kansan staff
Brett is up to bat. The pitch. Wow! A home run.
The crowd roars as the manager jots down another mark for the batter.
This scene is not from a night at Royals Stadium, and the home run is not a product of years of practice but of a lucky roll of the dice.
Every Monday night at 6:30 the sounds of baseball can be heard coming from Parlor C in the Kansas Union as members of the Stratomatic baseball league pit their best players against other members.
Kelly Dillard, McLouth senior, said cards were made for every baseball player who ever had at least 100 at bats. The baseball players were on the statistic records according to how well they did in a particular season.
League members choose from their draft picks who will play in a particular game.
Players of Strat-o-matic baseball first draft their players from the National and American Baseball Leagues, which they did last week. Some players choose to draft from the minor leagues also.
Only the pitcher and batter play against each other. The player rolls the dice and the batter may get a
single, double, triple, ground out or a home run according to what is rolled, he said.
"Most people pick players they like or those who are the better players," he said. "We pick players from every team and put them on one队. I might have players from Detroit, Kansas City and Los Angeles. It makes it interesting."
The players pit their teams against each other and keep records of the games.
The idea behind the game. Dillard says, is to be a good baseball manager.
"Obviously someone has to be a baseball fanatic to keep track of every thing and be a successful manager," he said.
The players also sound like base-
ball managers when they discuss
their game.
"I need someone who is strong on the left side."
Or, "I really can't afford to trade pitchers, I need pitchers, and I also
For Phil Wilke, a former KU student, the game has become the ultimate pastime.
"It's quite a pleasant diversion. I have always been a baseball fan and this is as close to playing baseball that I'll ever get. I started three years ago with the original group, and I got hooked," he said.
