Strat-O-Matic is the funny-sounding name for a modest-looking board game with a decades-long fan base. The Strat-O-Matic simulates a baseball game by using dice and a series of cards filled with statistics for each Major League player.

Strat-O, as it's known to its fans, was the brainchild of Hal Richman, a Bucknell University mathematics student. Since then, it's developed a loyal following, including celebrities like Cal Ripkin, Bryant Gumbel, Drew Carey and Spike Lee, who featured the game in his film "Crooklyn."

Now Strat-O-Matic has reached further back in baseball history. A new version lets players see how they would stack up against the Negro leagues.
