League Profile: Sunrise Baseball Association

This past weekend while I was at the Illowa APBA All-Star get-together, I received a Facebook message from Jerry Conca.  I found out Jerry is a friend of Bill Gilliam who is in my Boys of Summer League so I figured he was an ok guy.  Jerry and I messaged back and forth throughout the weekend and I found out that his basic game league, the Sunrise Baseball Association, is looking for managers.  To his credit, he even tried to recruit me to the league. 

The SBA has been around since 1990 and managers can play face-to-face or over Skype.

Jerry says: 

This league is awesome! The ultimate APBA challenge for the true fanatic. Face to face competition with some of the best APBA players across the country.

Give us a shout and see if we have a team opening. 66’s!

Thanks, Jerry for passing on the info!  If anyone is interested in finding out more, leave a comment and I’ll make sure he sees it. 

If you want to brag about your league, we’re listening!  Tell us all about the league you are in and we’ll post a profile about it.  In the meantime, read about other leagues who have written in.

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.

One Comment:

  1. I’ve been playing APBA for years, and the computer game for several, but all solo.
    Does APBA have it set up yet that games can be played ‘face to face’ via internet?
    I am looking to join a draft league like this.
    any ideas?
