Hear ye, Hear ye! The Soothsayer has spoken! That’s right! Bruce Norlander, who has been making predictions of APBA baseball cards for years, has released this year’s predictions. They’re not official of course but those familiar with Bruce know he gets it pretty close. These days, Bruce is posting his…
Scott Fennessy sent me this 1993 Sam Horn card. Now, I’ve heard about Sam Horn’s monster card from some of you readers but this is the first time I’ve seen it. Yeah, it’s quite a doozy. Left-hitting part-timer Horn was playing for Cleveland by 1993. He only got in 36…
The brochure from the original World Series Baseball Game Pastor Rich Zawadzki posted a an interesting thought on the APBA Baseball group on Facebook. In essence, it was a plea to the APBA Company to: “… put out a World Series set (The teams that faced off in each World…
The league postseason updates are rolling in. John Briggs sends us an update on the Roberto Clemente Memorial Baseball Association. In an epic run of comebacks, Ken Brand guided his Union County Unicorns, to his seventh title. You can see he’s “pumped” about finally getting some justice. The RCMBA…
The APBA Game Company has announced its 2014 Baseball season product release schedule. Get your credit card ready because you can order the season disk the day after the MLB World Series is over! From APBA’s website: “We will start taking pre-orders for the 2014 season disk for APBA Baseball…

I want to send a heartfelt congratulations to Rod Caborn. For years, Rod has faithfully sent me updates about his league, the Orlando APBA Association (OAPBA) and I’ve dutifully posted them. Now, Rod gets his due. He gets to submit some good news about HIS team. The Beefers, the second…
I love seeing APBA in the news. APBA fans Ted Knorr and Fred Walker made the local TV news in Wormleyburg, Pennsylvania when they replayed the famous Game 7 of the 1960 World Series between the Pirates and the Yankees. That’s a risky move. Hate to see the Bronx Bombers…
This oddly-photographed card belongs to 2013 Dan Uggla of Don Smith’s Molly Putts Marauders from the Illowa APBA League (as well as the Atlanta Braves). When I encountered Molly at the IAL All-Star weekend and found out he had a 15-14, out came my camera. This is an action shot…
With the 2014 MLB regular season over, APBA fans are wanting to know what the upcoming cards will look like. I know I do. Fortunately for us, there are couple people who pull out their formulas (and crystal balls) on yearly basis and help us get through the lean weeks…
