Just passing on a few links some of you might find fun/helpful: Seamheads.com hasn’t forgotten their baseball history and even better, they write about it. Almost daily. I’ve been following El Beisbol: The Story of Latinos in Baseball on Facebook. It’s eventually going to be a two-hour documentary on PBS. …
Ron Fairly: Cub Killer I’m getting my money’s worth out of the 1966 set with the replay I’m doing. Lots of close, low-scoring games. The two games I finished between the Cubs and Dodgers were no exception. April 15th Chicago at Los Angeles Cubs score a quick two runs in…

Me being schooled by fellow IAL member Chuck Lucas circa 1982 I have been chatting with Brian Cavanaugh from the Bridesburg Boys and Girls League over Facebook recently and the topic got on to how we originally got turned on the game of APBA. Here’s the story I told Brian:…
New York Giants pitcher Al Corwin didn’t have an incredible 1953 campaign on the mound with his 4.98 ERA. However, he did manage to get a few hits at the plate. As a result, the spot starter got a pretty tasty card. For his one double, one triple and two…
Playing my first two series of my 1966 NL replay while watching University of Illinois squash West Virginia 14-3 on Gametracker. Sundays can’t get much better than that.
