Don’t worry, you’re still at The APBA Blog. I decided to give the site a facelift. It’s been a while and I thought the old look was getting a bit worn. That and there were a few features I wanted to implement that just weren’t possible with the old theme. …
Paul over at One for Five is a Strat-O-Matic player who also plays the APBA Soccer Game. At this point, he’s taking on a mini-season and is planning to blog his results. He promises a full review of the game later but if this posting is any indication, he seems…
This week for MCM, I’m going with a pitcher. Specifically, Carlos Zambrano of 2008. Heck, choose most any year and you’ll get a good hitting card for Zambrano (though 2010 was a down year with the bat for the Big Z). While a lot of pitchers get some juicy APBA…

The Platoon rolled over the surprisingly punchless Tazmen in…

This is the second in new Monster Card Monday series. You know him, you love him. By popular demand, here comes George Puccinelli of 1930. Puccinelli is probably pretty obscure in the history of baseball unless you are an APBA player. He played for a total of 187 games and…
My friend Chuck Lucas is doing a replay of the 1959 season. ‘Luke’ is a manager in a league I’m in, the IAL. He’s also a big baseball history buff and a huge White Sox fan. So I guess it’s no surprise that he chose the year 1959 to replay. …
