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 are 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 to 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-founded a league in 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) 2026

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 2026 (MLB) 2027 (SOM) seasons. 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 72-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 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's 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 catchers' arms. 

We are a 12-team league and would like to expand to 14. 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.
