Thanks for reading the first ever Game Changers column! I appreciate you giving it a try…and Thomas Nelshoppen for providing me with the opportunity to contribute. I’m really looking forward to writing and thinking about baseball and APBA via this blog. As we move forward, I hope to shed light…
I urge all of you to celebrate APBA Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, 2020, by playing a game of APBA Baseball with a Jackie Robinson team or card.
Two Webers on the writing staff?? Wow, The APBA Blog has hit the motherlode! Double the fun! Kirk and Kevin Weber… or is it Kevin and Kirk? ;) I was just getting off of work (which is now my basement office as I’m working from home) the other day and…
