To be sure, attendance was low in these COVID-19 days but the Twin Cities APBA Baseball Tournament went on as planned… sort of. The normally April tournament was delayed a few months. Masked and mostly socially-distant, there were 13 entrants on August 8th, 2020 and it was held at the Shakopee Community Youth Center.
Jim Fraasch has a great write-up on his blog, Jim’s APBA Barn. When all was done, it was Ben Lofgren who was left standing with his 2019 Houston Astros. He defeated the 1910 Athletics managed by Dave Norlander.
Looking at the results, I’m amazed the 1995 Indians and the 1985 Expos had a combined 0-17 record for the tourney!
Congrats to Ben on a thrilling (and hopefully safe) TCABT win!
