Like the previous Johnny Bench card, this Reggie Jackson card comes from Mel M’s 1967 card set. Jackson came up for the Athletics for the last year they were in existence in Kansas City. Reggie’s card is not near as bad as Bench’s ‘67 card was but obviously still doesn’t…
Brian Cavanaugh sent me a great summary on the Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club APBA League season. The Rockets captained by Dylan H., won the Bridesburg 2013 championship! Brian reports: As the summer of 2013 winds down, so has the 2013 Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club APBA league. This…
I ran across this 1973 Barry Foote card on Facebook. Bruce Pratt posted it. He had just purchased the new 1973 season and is loving Foote’s fantastic albeit limited, card for the Expos. Foote was a late season call-up for the Expos and made the most of his time. He…
Drysdale still made it into the top ten of current ERA leaders Today, I probably played my strangest game in my 1966 NL replay so far. It was an April 24th matchup between the Dodgers and the Cubs. The Northsiders were trying to even the series in Chicago after getting…

I consider replaying one APBA season a pretty good feat. Well, how about 17 seasons? Yes, Rod Caborn has completed a total of seventeen replays in addition, by the way, to managing a team in the OAPBA League. We recently covered his latest replay, the deadball season of 1883. Not…
Geoff Giordano from the APBA Football Club does a thorough job in his “Reveal and Review” of the new revised APBA basic Football Game that just came out. Football fans should definitely check out the video he posted on YouTube. Geoff’s review is pretty positive though he does have…
I posted this 1966 Roberto “Bobby” Pena card a few days ago on The APBA Blog Facebook page. Why? In my ‘66 NL replay where I’m using actual lineups, his Cubs have taken to starting him at shortstop in mid-April. Not only that, they have led him off once or…
Last week, I posted 1994 Jeff Bagwell on Monday. This week’s entry was probably Bagwell’s competitor for best hitting card for that year, Matt Williams. I can tell you it’s a tough call. The funny thing is, both these players were on the same team in our Illowa APBA League. …
