I always like to see how APBA replayers track their projects. In addition, it’s a skill to display the results in a viewable format. APBA Blog readers have already seen the works of Rod Caborn when he submits his masterpieces. Before the holidays, Don George contacted me about his single…
I want to wish the entire APBA community a happy and safe holidays. You guys are are all awesome and I appreciate you. By the way, this figurine is called “Baseball Santa” by my family. I don’t know where we got it. He knows nothing about 3-batter minimum rules, TV…
When I claimed last week that Christian Yelich and Cody Bellinger had the two best APBA GO cards among full timers in the 2019 set, my old time friend Dom Provisiero had an opinion on that. He asked me to take a look at Mike Trout’s card. You know what?…
December 24th is going to be a big day. Okay yeah, it’s Christmas Eve. But it’s also going to be the day that decides if my Twin City Thunderchickens will make the 2019 Illowa APBA League playoffs. One man stands in my way of that goal. This guy… On the…

Another long time league is looking for a new manager. I wrote recently that the North East League was taking applications for a skipper. Now, Neil Leininger has contacted me and told me his Lame Duck Baseball Association is looking to fill a position. The LDBA has been around for…
“Knock knock!” “Who’s there?” “Dwain.” “Dwain who?” “Dwain the bathtub! His hit numbers are dwowning!” It’s been a while since a while since I’ve had a Terrible Tuesday column. Mel M. obliged with this 1973 Dwain Anderson card. I know my 1970s baseball pretty well but Dwain’s name escaped me.…
I purchased the APBA GO 2019 set this past week so I’m getting a sense of what the cards will look like when they are clutched in my grubby hands. Today, I’m featuring what I think is one of the best cards in the set among full-timers. Enter Christian Yelich…
When I got an email from APBA Hall of Famer Woody Studenmund, I stood at attention a little. I remember Woody’s name from the APBA Journal days when I was a younger lad. Turns out his league needs a little help. Woody is a member of the North East League,…
