Remember we told you about an exciting situation happening at Foley’s Pub in New York over the past weekend involving Strat-O-Matic and Brett Carow and Sam Henneman? We wrote about it in THE BLEEDING YANKEE BLUENEWSSTAND VII. In a nutshell, those 2 guys are Strat-O-Matic fanatics and they were trying to break the Guiness Book of World Record’s longest marathon of playing the board game. The only record was 53 hours and 59 minutes. Great news…they beat the record!
