See honey, I was there.

Yes, that’s me to the right at last week’s Chicagoland Tournament.  The photo is courtesy of good friend Pastor Rich Zawadzki.  I have that look so I must be losing to Jim Saska. 

Tournament champion Scott Fennessy (on the left) has an air of confidence about him on the other hand.

I mentioned the other day about people dressing for the part.  Scott broke tradition and wore his Cubs jersey.  Good for him.  By the way, it’s worth noting that Scott told me on the way to the tournament that he had not played face-to-face APBA since the 90s.  Since then, he’s only played solo. 

As the saying goes, once you learn to ride a bicycle…

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 a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
