Strat-O-Matic has changed since the three dice and player cards. The newer SOM is computerized and keeps track of the stats, makes the schedules and puts players on the disabled list when they acquire an injury. Each team has their own choice of a home ball park. The old Yankee Stadium, Ebberts Field, Fenway Park, Polo Grounds etc. Player cards are no longer needed and the computer rolls the dice for you. SOM is not a video game, so to speak, although it does show a video with each at bat. I remember when Duke Snider took Robin Roberts deep and hit one out of Yankee Stadium.
