This blog tends to lean towards baseball (I write what I know). I did however run across a hockey web site today worth mentioning. Chris Kash’s web site is dedicated to the River Cities Renegades, his APBA hockey team in the CCHL. It’s a pretty realistic web site… so much…
The final Illowa APBA League newsletter came out today. And I can’t go another any further without congratulating my co-blogger, fellow manager and good friend Teddy Ballgame. His Chicago Champions placed first in the IAL after a grueling (ok, it was grueling for me, for him it was probably a…
You got Dave Parker pretty easy last time. We’ll see how you do with this one. I took the position out this time. No hints this time except that may be a slight hint in of itself. Good Luck!

John Briggs emailed us about his 15 team mail league, the Roberto Clemente Memorial Baseball Association. The RCMBA has been around a spell, since 1975. Six of the 15 teams in the league are based in Pennsylvania or Ohio with others in NY, KY, MI, FL, MD and even as…
Just try to tell me that the person who built these ice fishing houses (on Medicine Lake , MN) doesn’t play APBA. If not, it’s quite a coincidence. Then again, if he were an APBA fan, I suppose he would have made them all sixes. You can read about the…
The correct Willie Bloomquist card With every APBA card set, us APBA fans find anomalies and strangeness and wonder, “Will APBA correct this on their error list?”. So far with the 2008 baseball card set, APBA hasn’t corrected any cards with the exception of one… Seattle Mariner Willie…
