Let’s give Walt Taylor from OAPBA a hand. He’s halfway through his solitaire 1960’s Project and needs a little help picking out the All-Stars. I’ll let him tell you about it in his own words: Good Evening! I enjoy stopping by your blog to get information and your perspective on…
I just got a chance to look over the card numbers extracted from the 2010 disk. Since I did it last year for the 2009 set, I thought I’d do a series of articles breaking down the “cards” number-wise. Today, I’ll start with the pitchers. As an FYI, these figures…
is it too red? I’ve been thinking that the APBA Blog’s site background was beginning to look a little too pale white so I added some color. Comments welcome. Also let me know if I broke anything (always a distinct possibility) in the process.
Last night, I was jonesin’ to roll the bones so I called my buddy Brando. John Brandeberry, who lives cross town in Champaign and is the owner of Rising Bamm Beanos in the Illowa APBA League. He’s always up for some APBA and readily agreed. As it was, the University…

Hugh Brown writes The APBA Blog about his league simply called the APBA League (or A.P.B.A.L. for short). The A.P.B.A.L. has been around for a good long time, 1960 to be specific. Their website claims (and as far I know, I can’t dispute them) they are “the world’s oldest face-to-face…
Trade season is open in our league now. I just got my first trade offer for the 2011 season. Oh, I’ve gotten inquiries and the “I’ve got this guy, what do need?” talk before. Today though, I got my first firm offer. Two players for two players. To protect the…
Just a few things I want to cover: Plug for APBA Between the Lines Most of you already know about Delphi’s APBA- Between the Lines forum. However, judging from some of the emails I get, there are plenty of APBA fans out there who haven’t heard of it. I’d hazard…
