If you want to know what it`s like to be a fan of a truly terrible baseball team, you can ask those who
followed the 1962 Mets, 2003 Tigers, or 2024 White Sox. But what was it like being a fan of the worst team in
major league history? Now, thanks to Strat-O-Matic baseball for the PC, you can find out. Spiders on
Strat records a complete season replay of the legendary 1899 Cleveland Spiders (20-134, .130), as seen
through the eyes of a dice baseball player who came to love the team in all its fabulous incompetence. For each
game, all 154 of them, there’s a full account of the replay and a summary of the real one, including amusing
contemporary newspaper quotes. At the end there`s a full statistical record, and a look at how close the replay
came to reality. And by the end, you`ll come to love the Spiders too. |
