Prairieland IV teams drafted for April 13

The Prairieland IV teams have now been chosen!

The draft for Prairieland IV which will be held April 13 in Springfield, Illinois was a little unique. In three rounds, each participant chose:

  • a pitching staff
  • an infield
  • an outfield/catcher

Each “squad” could be drafted from a different franchise or year. The draft was done via email.

This is how it all shook out.

Thomas Nelshoppen

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. 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.
