The Illowa APBA League All-Star Weekend commences tomorrow! My buddy John Brandeberry will pick me up at 9am to drive to Naperville, IL to meet with the rest of the league. While we will be playing regular season games Friday, Saturday is when we roll for the All-Star Game. Speaking…
It’s the second go-round. APBA Game Company CEO John Herson has again agreed to answer a few questions for The APBA Blog. I put out a call for questions a few days ago and even polled my league (hey, do they all read this blog… who knows?) and got a…
I just filled out the Illowa APBA League All-Star ballot for our upcoming league All-Star Game this weekend. A daunting task indeed. I usually pay more attention to runs produced (runs plus rbis) than statisticians would like. My theory is that the goal of the game is to win and…

I’ve added a new improved contact form for The APBA Blog (as opposed to a simple email address). I hope it comes in useful. My point of this? Feel free to use it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has an opinion about APBA (believe me, I know you’re…
