I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have picked up my 1966 NL replay after a hiatus. I have really kept pace since then and playing at least one game a day. As I write this, there are five games left before the All-Star break. I will eventually do…
Happy New Year! For the new year, let’s take a look at one more card for 2023. I know of at least one league manager who will enjoy this card for the year to come. It’s Corey Seager from the Texas Rangers. Now Corey Seager did not play a full…
I heard from long time friend and contributor Scott Fennessy during the break. He just finished his 1908 replay! Scott has always been a deadball devotee so this is a big deal.
I have posted Matt Holliday’s 2007 card seven years ago but considering that Christmas lies on a Monday this year, I couldn’t resist the temptation to post it again. For the Rockies, Holliday vindicated his breakout year in 2006 by outdoing himself in 2007. The slugger led the NL in…
I know it’s hard to believe but I have been quietly knocking out a few games in my 1966 NL replay again. Once the Pitching Grade Challenge was over, I thought it would be fun to get back into it.
I was pondering which 2023 APBA baseball to feature this week and it came down to “I can’t ignore a guy who hit 54 homers”. So it’s Atlanta’s first baseman Matt Olson 2023 card you get to read about.
Rod Caborn sends an update from the Orlando APBA Association. According to Rod, “It was the longest season in OAPBA history, taking exactly 10 months from the first game on Feb. 15 to the final out of the 2023 World Series”.
Posting a Shohei Ohtani monster card is becoming an annual event. But if the shoe fits… Shohei continues to produce a great card as both a hitter and a pitcher. For the Angels, he led the league with 44 homers, a .412 OBP and a .654 slugging percentage. His 78…
So two days after APBA GO released the 2023 season, I made a deal for the upcoming season. According to one neutral manager in the Illowa APBA League, it “looks to be the biggest trade of the season”. My trading partner was Nick Tegeler. Yes, he’s the same one who…
Congrats again to Tom Doran who went 20 for 20 to win the 2023 Pitching Grade Challenge. Very impressive performance especially against another record number of participants! But what about the rest us? How did we all do as a group? Were there pitchers that were easy ‘gimmes’ and were there any that stumped us?
