I don’t think I have seen this on an APBA card before. Rod Caborn sent this submission of Ed Porray’s 1914 card. It may take a minute or two to find the quirk here. Rod helps us out here: I am not sure where one would categorize the attached card…
Hoosier Dave Chestnut is kicking off the inaugural Indy APBA 500 Baseball Tournament to be held September 14, 2019. I’ve known Dave since last year’s Prairieland tourney. The one thing that struck me about Dave was that he was more than happy to talk about college baseball (one of my…
I’m posting this on behalf of friend Shawn Baier of The Boys of Summer blog. For those that play the APBA Basic Cards with Optional Fielding, the Ultimate APBA League is looking for owners for their 2 open franchises. We play with Games limits on position players, strict innings on…

This card made the rounds of the Illowa APBA League group text this morning. If we made an APBA card of Chris Davis based on his 2019 stats right now, this is what it would look like courtesy of Steve Stein’s Card Computer. Davis is 0 for 28 so far…
