This comes from Rod Caborn who says: I’ve never been one to submit one game in the midst of a replay (there are 616 of ‘em in an eight-team season replay), but this one really stands out. In 50+ years of playing APBA, I’ve never had one go this long.…
To celebrate the announcement of the pending induction of Larry Walker to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Pastor Rich Zawadzki sent me this 1999 APBA card of the Colorado Rockies slugger. Canadian Walker was humble till the end. Fortunately for him, he was wrong, too. Walker won the trifecta in…
