by Scott Fennessy 9/10/1905 Cincinnati, OH The Cubs only got to face the Cardinals in a one game series due to schedule cutting to meet my season limit of 140 games. That is disappointing as they are really in a free fall, and the Reds team they now face features…
Finally, here it is! As I mentioned earlier, this 1930 Bill Terry card should have been one of the first posted. Pastor Rich Zawadski had even forwarded it to me. But for months, I was under the assumption I had featured him. Now, Terry finally gets his due. Those who…
With the less than formidable cards you saw with the Terribles secondbasemen, you’ll be happy to see the choices for the Monsters. They were so good, I actually included one player twice for two different seasons. I’m sure Pastor Rich knows who I’m talking about (more info here on my…
Sometimes even I am amazed by what happens when APBA fans get together. When faced with a pretty major setback, a group of baseball fans will find a way to get things done. The Boys of Summer APBA Online League, spearheaded by commissioner Shawn Baier, were ready to draft for…
Jason sent me a question which really deserves an article: He asks: Do you have any guides, tips, hints, plug and play templates, magic wands, etc for helping me create and maintain a league? I admit, that’s quite a question with a lot of answers. I did check back with…

It looks like a lot of you had fun with the Monsters firstbasemen poll. Now get ready for some weak hitting middle infielders as we head into the second basemen and shortstops. We’ll start with the Terribles’ secondbasemen (more info here on the TCT-MCM project). It’s an interesting field with…
“Solo homers usually come with no one on base.” -Ralph Kiner Yes, I know. I promised I’d do Bill Terry. That will have to wait for another week. With the recent passing of slugger Ralph Kiner at the age of 91, I thought it was appropriate that he would get…
I finally got around to updating the Illowa APBA League website. It pales compared to some of the league websites I’ve seen (there are some fantastic ones out there!) but the relevant info is up for you to see. The biggest updates I’ve made are to the all-time registry and…
