Started out with the original SI baseball in the blue box and SI football in the brown bow (I never won in football because I always loved to have Namath throw the bomb on every down
), then started playing the SI All Time All Star game when it came out, and then graduated to Strat-o-matic around 1978 or so. The difference between those games then, and the video games the kids play now is that we NEVER chose them over actually going out and playing a REAL game of ball outside.
