I’ve seen reports of some APBA fans having some trouble accessing Steve’s APBA Card Computer so I thought I’d pass on a quick tip to help fix it. I’ve encountered a Java error and so did a fellow manager in the IAL. It’s a quick fix and once implemented, it’s…
Pastor Rich comes up with another great suggestion for Monster Card Monday. This card, I admit, I’ve never seen before. It’s Jimmie Foxx’s 58-HR season in 1932. Wow, what a card! Foxx did a lot in 1932. Aside from leading the AL with 58 homers, 169 rbis and 151 runs,…
Mel Maricic sends me an update on his 1967 replay. Hi Tom, Baseballs are flying out of the park in my ’67 replay. For the weekend series of 7/21-7/23 69 homeruns were hit in 35 games. Harmon Killebrew had his second 3-homerun game of the season, he singled in the…
I was pleased to see that another APBA fan has entered the blogosphere realm. Richard Hood has just brought up his website called APBA Life. Stop by and say hello. Like me, Richard is a Illinois “downstater” which is code for anyone who doesn’t live in Chicago. He is also…
Brian Cavanaugh participated in this year’s Robert Henry Memorial Tournament in Willow Grove, PA and emailed me this report on the tourney. Thanks Brian!!

Milwaukee Brewer third baseman Roy Howell has a pretty standard APBA hitting card for a .238 hitter until you look at it a little more closely, that is. Smack dab in the middle of his card he has a inappropriately placed 35-7. I’m pretty sure this was considered a card…
Don Wert played all but one of his nine-year career with the Detroit Tigers. It was his last year with the Washington Senators that put the nail into the coffin of his career, though. In 40 at-bats, “Coyote” Wert batted .050 with just one single and one double. He walked…
I’ve been meaning do a Brooks Robinson card for a while. The lifetime Baltimore Oriole third baseman set the standard for attaining the top APBA fielding rating and he did it at a position which was incredibly rare to do so. This is Brooks Robinson’s 1962 card in reprint set. …
