Fast catcher Paul Casanova appears to have quite the slugging year in 1967 for the Senators. His APBA card shows 53 under the HR column.
In reality, Casanova had just 9 dingers in ’67. He had 53 rbis. My guess is that the homerun column was deleted and all subsequent data was shifted to the left.
Thanks, Dan Oliverio!

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically
Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA.
I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as the BBW Boys of Summer APBA League since 2014. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
Hi Tom,
Wondering if he is related to Raul Casanova who bounced around in the 90’s.
Baseball Reference makes no mention of a relation. Raul is Puerto Rican. Paul was Cuban, and died earlier this year.
That space within his catcher fielding rating is also looking bad.
I don’t know who does APBA’s printing, but it isn’t good.
I didn’t even see the extra space but now that you pointed it out, it bugs me. :)
