Going old school today

Hack_Wilson_display_imageMy buddy Brando invited me over again today for another day of Illini football and APBA.  Illinois is taking Ohio State at Memorial Stadium and we’ll be watching it on his big screen.

What teams will we be playing?  I asked him earlier if he wanted me to pick the teams and he said “I’ll pick the teams”.  Okaaay, maybe he didn’t like my choice of the 1982 Braves and Rangers the last time we played.  Just heard last night that he’s chosen the 1930 Cubs and Dodgers.  I have the Cubs.  The inside joke with Brando is that he’s a Dodger fan… a Brooklyn Dodger fan.  This should be fun.

Remember Brando, Dazzy Vance can pitch only one game for you but Hack Wilson plays every day.

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.

  1. As 2011’s economy mirrors 1930’s economy it is all together fitting and proper.
