Manny Machado becomes the 1st recipient of the platinum 
sombrero in 2024. He not only did it, but did back-to-back
series in April! Not to be outdone JT Realmuto pulled off the
feat versus the Leonardo Lightning in May, and capped off
by Brice Turang of the Surge in the final game of the season.

The annual tradition of the opening day playing of the
National Anthem!

Congratulations go out to the Chandler Diamondbacks for winning their 1st ever, Strat-O-Matic league championship. The Diamondbacks had a run for the ages, knocking off the defending champions in an ALDS sweep (3-0), then another former champion and division leader the Lockport Hermanators (4-2). They entered the World Series for the 1st time since 1999 but reentered the league in 2022. After missing the postseason in 2022 by one game, Chandler finished tied for 2nd before starting their playoff journey. They met the league's best team and a team on a 10-game winning streak the 8-time champions, the Jersey Shore Surge. Chandler entered hot and stayed hot. They won the series in 6 (4-2) winning 3 of those games with scores of 3-2. Bobby Witt Jr. took home the WSMVP going 8-16 (.500) in 5 games scoring 4 times, driving home 1, and reaching base safely 3 other times. With the win, it marks another 1st-time champion in 2 of the past 3 seasons. With the loss, Jersey Shore has now lost in back-to-back World Series. Congrats again to manager Richie Jones & his Chandler Diamondbacks. 

Welcome to the official home of the

Joseph Nasta Jr. Memorial Strat-O-Matic League (JNJSOM)

The Joseph Nasta, Jr. Memorial Strat-O-Matic League was founded in 2015. The league commissioner and host is Kevin S. Nasta (also owner of the Jersey Shore Surge). The JNJSOM is a face to face board game style format, using variations of advanced & super advanced rules, along with some twists of our own.

Nasta is a veteran of Strat-O-Matic playing in a league for the 1^st time back in 1989, when he was the manager of the San Diego Padres as part of the George Johnson Strat-O-Matic League (GJSOM). All games being played in Staten Island, NY

In 1993 Nasta took over the league changing its name to the Todt Hill Strat-O-Matic League (THSOM) until its name change in 1995. That season it became the Mickey Mantle Memorial Strat-O-Matic League (MMMSOM). From 1995-2005 the MMMSOM played its games in Staten Island, NY. The league played its final season in 2005.

After a move to the shores of New Jersey, Nasta decided it was long enough to stay without Strat-o-Matic in his life. In 2015, Nasta re-found a league in the honor of his late father, the JNJSOM. All games are now played in Keyport, NJ. The Joseph Nasta Jr. Memorial Strat-O-Matic League or JNJSOM is a division of Damage Athletics, LLC. (c) 2023

ATTENTION FELLOW STRAT ATTICS!

The JNJSOM (Joseph Nasta Jr Memorial Strat-O-Matic League) a face-to-face league is currently taking applications/inquiries for expansion teams for the 2024 (MLB) 2025 (SOM) season. Our annual draft is in January of every new year, with the season starting in March. We usually in non-COVID cases go and pick the set up in person, and have the set separated all on the same day. Copies of the league cards are made and either mailed or delivered to the managers.

We play a 66-game season every year depending on schedule availability and non-COVID delays. We usually meet once a month to play 6 games, with the exception of 2 playing months we play 9 games. All stats are recapped by the league commissioner and posted on our website leaguelineup.com/jnjsom.  Score sheets are scanned and placed in our league Google Drive for everyone's viewing convenience. Our league is CUSTOM. We've adapted rules from Advanced & Super Advanced. We do NOT use weather or stadium effects. But we do use the Super Advanced fielding chart as well as custom fielding charts for other situations. We do NOT use holding-on ratings for pitchers, and catchers as we just use stealing ratings and catcher's arms. 

We are a 10-team league and would like to expand to 12. We play in Central Jersey and have players from Hudson County, NY, Long Island, NY, Staten Island, NY, Florida, and New Jersey. We play on Saturdays at 9 am.
