There’s a pretty awesome article depicting the fun of APBA (and Strat-O-Matic) baseball in USA Today. They interview a couple members of the Washington APBA Baseball League.
…But they’re not at the ballpark. For that matter, they’re not watching on TV, either. It’s 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning and they are huddled around McDonald’s tiny kitchen table in College Park, Md., focused on dice, charts and "players" depicted on tiny white cards with red numbers.
"Another strikeout. Are you kidding me?" McDonald exclaims as he hurls a yellow dice shaker across the room, causing it to slam into a wall 15 feet away and land behind his refrigerator. He turns to Haller, who is surprisingly nonchalant, and tells him, "I swear, I am going to call the cops and have them tow your car away."
haha, stuff like that used to happen in our league, too. Seriously, it’s a pretty decent article even hitting on the rivalry/respect between the two games. They were even able to get a hold of Marc Rinaldi for a quote.
thanks to Chuck for passing this on.
