Eric sent in a good question today which got me thinking. I figured I would share my thoughts with the class. Hello,I was looking in Street & Smith BB Yearbook 1973 that had APBA ad featuring Johnny Bench (single column). Last year, I purchased the 1972 season and noticed that…
I checked back and found that I had posted Kirby Puckett’s 1987 APBA card. As good as that one is, his 1986 card is even better! For the Twins, he hit safely 223 times in 1986 and 31 of those hits went yard. Not only that, he had 20 steals.…
On Saturday, I was challenged on APBA GO for the first time. In fact it was first time I played against another person other than my APBA Jackie Robinson Day against Kirk Weber game on Tuesday. I have played of course. Up until now, it has primarily been in solo…

Rickey Henderson had his detractors during his MLB career which spanned 1979-2003. However many of those who didn’t care much for his personality gave him his due as one of the best leadoff men of his time. This is his APBA card for the 1983 season. That year, he hit…
Two Webers on the writing staff?? Wow, The APBA Blog has hit the motherlode! Double the fun! Kirk and Kevin Weber… or is it Kevin and Kirk? ;) I was just getting off of work (which is now my basement office as I’m working from home) the other day and…
Chris Williams shares another BBW tip… one I was not even aware of until now. Here’s how to change where position labels are mapped in the APBA computer game. Start a game and bring up the park you just installed. Now you have to move the player and manager names,…
