Recently, Kevin Weber’s request that we honor Jackie Robinson by having a nationwide APBA Jackie Robinson Day on April 15th and report back our results to the APBA community. To that end, I have challenged his brother and TAB contributor Kirk Weber to an APBA GO baseball game so that…
This past Sunday, I had the privilege of being a guest on Kevin and Kirk Weber’s Double Take podcast. Boy, that was fun! It was less an interview and more like three guys just chatting about APBA and baseball. In case you missed it, Double Take has been re-branded by…
