Author: Thomas Nelshoppen

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

Replay stats: questions come up

As I’m getting along in my 1966 replay (ok, I’m not THAT far), I thought I’d start entering in statistics.  Mostly so I can get the process in place.  I’ll probably do a longer article about that process later but there were a couple broader questions that came up as…

Saturday morning links you might enjoy

Just passing on a few links some of you might find fun/helpful: Seamheads.com hasn’t forgotten their baseball history and even better, they write about it.  Almost daily.  I’ve been following El Beisbol: The Story of Latinos in Baseball on Facebook.  It’s eventually going to be a two-hour documentary on PBS. …

MLB Managers didn’t have APBA cards to help them in 1966

Ron Fairly:  Cub Killer I’m getting my money’s worth out of the 1966 set with the replay I’m doing.  Lots of close, low-scoring games.  The two games I finished between the Cubs and Dodgers were no exception.  April 15th Chicago at Los Angeles Cubs score a quick two runs in…

Coming soon: The Great APBA Fan Survey (I’m taking question suggestions)

Hi all, I’m giving you heads up to a project I’m starting for The APBA Blog.  I’m calling it the Great APBA Fan Survey because that pretty much what it is.  Some time in the near future I will go live with an online survey which will ask all APBA…

Things found while cleaning

Like I said earlier, I was cleaning my office this weekend.  Every time I do that, I find things. I ran across my Twin City Thunderchickens team mascot, Chuck the Chicken.  I think I wrote about him in an article I did about league mascots a while back.  Poor Chuck…

Couple of APBA Football Nuggets

On his new APBA Football website Oguard’s Replays, Greg Barath has a new tool called a QB Completion Calculator.  Greg says: “With that being said, it’s still fun trying to “guess” the production of a QB’s card whether it’s for an upcoming league draft or a solitaire replay. Attached is…

Steve Guthrie’s (moved) web site with NCAA baseball cards for APBA

I’ve had a lot of people ask about this so I finally looked into it.  By popular demand, here is Steve Guthrie’s new web site where he has links to his NCAA Baseball cards made for APBA.  Steve made NCAA card sets for the years 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010. …

How did you get introduced to APBA??

Me being schooled by fellow IAL member Chuck Lucas circa 1982 I have been chatting with Brian Cavanaugh from the Bridesburg Boys and Girls League over Facebook recently and the topic got on to how we originally got turned on the game of APBA.  Here’s the story I told Brian:…

Monster Card Monday: 1953 Al Corwin

New York Giants pitcher Al Corwin didn’t have an incredible 1953 campaign on the mound with his 4.98 ERA.  However, he did manage to get a few hits at the plate.  As a result, the spot starter got a pretty tasty card.  For his one double, one triple and two…
