LeMahieu keeps the Locos’ playoff season alive Fans of The Boys of Summer APBA League Division series postseason teams are quite excited. Both the National League and the American League Division series playoffs are going the distance and will play a game 5. Brandon Matlock’s South Side Spartans won the…
I’m posting this for friend Stray Corrado. If you love baseball and love APBA Baseball for Windows, this might be the league for you. **** The Mid-West Winter League has ONE OPEN TEAM. We are completing the Draft for the 1991 Season & will have games underway soon. Do the…
I like anomalies and strangeness. I guess it’s why I do things like Terrible Tuesday and Weird Wednesday. Cards like today’s 1966 Alex Johnson fit in well. I’ve been playing Johnson in my 1966 replay this whole time without realizing he was the same Alex Johnson who won the batting…
Rob Spatz rolled quite the game with 1994 Frank Thomas. As you might be able to see from the photo above, The Big Hurt hit four straight homers in a game for Rob. Thomas had the card to do it, too. Frank Thomas won his second straight AL MVP award…

How you keep the box scores for the games in your replay is a very personal selection. The number of box score formats available is endless. Google box score formats and you get hundreds of examples of different formats that are available. Some questions worth considering before you settle on…
Craig Christian showed me this 1957 Joey Jay card a couple days ago. The strange thing about it? Look at the stats. One game, one save but no innings pitched. At first, I wondered if there was some obscure rule I wasn’t aware that would award a pitcher a save…
Looking through my new 1930 baseball card set, I saw plenty of monster cards and a few terrible ones too. But what’s this? Hall of Famer Dave Bancroft? With a 33-14? Sure enough, in his last season in baseball, “Beauty” Bancroft went 1 for 17 for John McGraw’s New York…
