I love these kinds of APBA stories. Stray Corrado points out that in his Mid-West Baseball League, Derek Jeter is only 80 hits away from 3000 for his career in league play. That’s pretty amazing if you think about it. It’s a testament to Jeter. To accomplish 2920 hits in…
by Craig Small Sorry I’ve been away so long but I had an incredibly busy week last week. This week I am on vacation and will be jumping back into the golf tournament with both feet. I’m half-way through the opening round and wanted to give you a quick update.…

I got thinking about APBA Baseball’s result number 12 after reading about the proposed change to keep it in one spot in my interview of John Herson. There were even a few comments by readers who noticed the possible change to the ol’ one-two. There’s no doubt about it, there…
