Clayton Kershaw tops all starters (again) with the only A&C grade Yesterday, I posted the first in my APBA Baseball by the Numbers series where I covered defensive ratings. Tonight though, it’s time to go over the hurlers. Who was the best? Who got lucky and got cheated out of…
Yadier Molina: Tops in the 2014 set with a C-9 and Th-6 The 2014 APBA Baseball disk is out! That means I’m crunching numbers. For the last few years, I’ve been doing an overview of the cards as it were. This year, I’ll start with the defensive ratings. I’ll break…
…but enjoy this photo of a dubious Doug Schuyler shaking the hand of Clark Eichman at the November tournament. Watch out! Doug sucks out your will to win when he shakes your hand!
Ok, bear with me. I’m new to APBA Football. Despite not being too up on the NFL as I mentioned in last night’s article, I do know who Peyton Manning is so he must be pretty good, right? Indeed he is. For the Denver Broncos, Manning had one of best…

When I first saw this 1984 Jose Oquendo card, the snarky voice inside my head said, “but wait, he only plays one position”. This Oquendo card looks a little weak at first glance but factor in the speed numbers and it’s not too terrible. Add in his pretty good defense,…
Just look at this card. Even one look at it and you can tell it’s a Terrible Tuesday card. Look out or I’ll continue using this awful pun! This is Dean Look from the 1961 White Sox. I ran across him as I took over the Sox in my BBW…
During the recent Chicagoland Tournament, I went poking around in Pastor Rich’s box of APBA cards and dug this one up. It’s a winner. Harry “Slug” Heilmann’s card from 1923 is one of the best. Heilmann managed to slug .632 (the stats differ depending on the source) for the Detroit…
