Shawn Baier announces "The Cherry APBA Baseball Roll-away by the Bay"

A very intriguing announcement comes from Shawn Baier…

Cherry APBA Baseball Roll-away by the Bay

One-shot, one-time APBA Baseball Tournament event, slated for Summer 2020 – “The Cherry APBA Baseball Roll-away by the Bay”

 

Designed to be a week event of tourist stuff, that includes the family as well — so now there will be no need to rush into town and exit quickly, I want this to be the summer camp of APBA Baseball fun.

Quick teaser shout-out of the event:

  • Leading up to the tournament itself & for those that desire to see this beautiful area, it will be a week of touring the beautiful area of Grand Traverse Bay and Leelanau County — The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park Lakeshore, Empire, Glen Arbor area, plus beautiful downtown Traverse City.
  • All contestants will get a T-Shirt.
  • The event itself will likely be at the state campground in Traverse City, which has tons of shade, and has a walk-over bridge over Munson Avenue, so that kids & their moms can cross over to the beach, while the guys roll on tournament day [Plan to have a huge tarp cover or a few mega tents in case of rain].
  • The event will be video-taped by possibly numerous people, plus plenty of the tourist stuff as well; All the footage will be accumulated into a APBA Baseball movie about the sport, and in an attempt to help spread & promote this wonderful game.
  • Over the next four years, there will be plenty of videos and pictures to show off this beautiful area.
  • Details of the tournament itself will be due in good time. Planner may not play a team, due to all the desired video-taping, running the event effectively & just looking to be in great company.

Thanks and more to come…

I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
