Well, despite my offers and suggestions, I made it through the Illowa APBA League off season without making a single trade. More to the point at hand, congratulations to Tedd and his Chicago Champions. On Friday night, they breezed through the playoffs and then swept the Rising Bamm! Beanos…
With the Illowa APBA League draft convention one day away, it’s beginning to be crunch time. I have six pitchers and just one graded starter on my pitching staff at this point. The only good news is that I have six draft picks including the #1 pick, for our upcoming…
