Not too long ago, Mel M updated us on his 1967 replay with a great recap of the National League. Good news! He just sent me a similar update of the American League. Both leagues are played up to the All-Star break in Mel’s replay now. Here’s the update that…
Today’s Weird Card isn’t really an APBA Card at all but was included in the 1970 set. It was an accompanying card that simply corrected the errors that APBA Company caught after the set was published but before it was shipped. Scott Veatch who sent this to me, says: “The…
