Call for questions for Herson interview

APBA CEO John Herson has just agreed to do another interview with The APBA Blog.  With the transition of APBA to its new home in Georgia and other major changes, I thought this would be a good time to ask some questions.  I appreciate Mr Herson taking his time to…

IAL Hall of Fame nominees announced

As I mentioned earlier, the Illowa APBA League annual All-Star weekend is rapidly approaching.  Since the All-Star Game is all about recognizing IAL players’ performances, it only makes sense that we also vote for new IAL Hall of Fame members at this time. Our league’s rules state that a player…
