Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club making plans for the APBA tournament

I received some good news from Brian Cavanaugh who organized the kids from the Bridesburg (PA) Boys and Girls Club into the Bridesburg Boys And Girls Club Summer Baseball League:

 

I got permission from the boys and girls club to take some kids to convention for a day trip. We are gonna day trip on July 16th, the Saturday so we can put some teams in the tournament. I’m so excited!!!

 

I think this is fantastic!  We all know how much APBA needs a new generation of players and Brian is sure doing his part in evangelizing about the game to the younger crowd.

I told Brian to pass this little bit of info to his kids at the Boys and Girls Club:  one of the most successful players at the APBA Convention Tournaments was a kid.  Brian Wells won his first tournament in 2002 at the age of 9.  Six years later in 2008, Brian won again when he was 15.

Here is a list of all the tournament winners:

Year – Location – Winner – Team

  • 2001 – Lancaster, PA- Paul Cunningham – 1976 Athletics
  • 2002 – Lancaster, PA – Brian Wells – 2000 Diamondbacks
  • 2003 – Lancaster, PA – Robert Klimist – 1963 Dodgers
  • 2004 – Las Vegas, NV – Eric Naftaly – 1957 Braves

good luck to everyone at the BBAGCSBL!
