It seems I keep hearing from more and more APBA fans from Wisconsin. Tom Kohn writes in from Appleton, Wisconsin about his league called the Hog Dog Brandt Memorial Baseball League. The Hog Doggers use the Master Game which I think is starting to make a slight comeback in the APBA circle.
The crew of HDBMBL play at a local sports bar every week. Great idea! Maybe APBA leagues can take the cue from local softball leagues and have the bar sponsor them. It could alleviate the cost of buying cards, right?
Either way, I bet it’s a lot of fun and I’m sure it’s a good recruiting ground for new APBA fans.

Tom says:
“Our league is 12 team NL using the Master Game. We play a 70 game season with 50% usage for the players. We play head to head in a local sports bar every Monday night starting in January once the cards arrive. We play either 4 or 5 game series each night.”
Great to hear from our neighbors to the north!
