Now that the 2019 Major League Baseball regular season is over, many of us are looking at stats. Lots of stats. Whether we are league members, (potential) replayers or just curious APBA baseball fans, we’re interested in how the numbers stack up. I know you all have your favorite avenues…
This Hurley McNair card comes via Pastor Rich Zawadzki. And wow, this Hurley APBA card can do it all; pitch, hit play outfield. It is NOT an official APBA card though as the disclaimer at the bottom of the card says. the familiar format was used with the Company’s permission.…
