Kenn Tomasch’s new stadium is pretty awesome

I am really loving this YouTube video posted by Kenn Tomasch who created his own elaborate ballpark to roll his APBA dice.

 

Built out of mostly common materials, Kenn’s new stadium has been named Al Lopez Field after Hall of Fame player and manager who hails from his home town of Tampa.

In the video, Kenn does a great job in not only describing his ballpark but also gives some great tips in how he built it.  This is at least his second go-round in building a stadium dice surface.  He shows a view of his previous one and shows why his new one is even better.

Kenn’s Al Lopez Field includes a scoreboard, a palm tree, a backdrop of downtown Tampa and a even a button which plays the last few bars of the national anthem and an umpire shouting “Play Ball!”.

Great stadium, Kenn!  I’m glad you shared it with everyone!

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.

  1. How great was that? Gives some great tips and inspiring to try and do one myself. Wonder how long it took to roll those 66’s at the end?!

  2. Great job on Al Lopez Field! I lived in Tampa for 14 years and spent many an enjoyable evening watching the Tarpons. Office was at the intersection of Columbus and Havana, about four blocks east.
