'The league was gathered for a Strat-fest to try to finish up the season, playing three concurrent games head-to-head in two rooms, while my wife was over visiting her family. 'I was playing in my third season in the World League back in 1993 and my wife and I were expecting our second child, due at any time,' Blake said. But Blake draws the line at missing the birth of his first-born. He'll go to great lengths to play his favorite simulation baseball game - traveling great distances to roll dice and wield fistfuls of player cards, or whiling away hours, even days, on the computer playing Strat online. Neither would Chris Blake.Īn avid player of Strat-O-Matic baseball, Blake has participated in all kinds of leagues since childhood. Would you miss the birth of your first-born child because of your fantasy league? Of course not.
