Book: "The Eastern Colored League"

Seamheads.com has a book review of "The Eastern Colored League" by David Lawrence and Dom Denaro.  I haven’t read the book but it has an APBA twist to it. 

 

The monograph project started with the authors wanting to improve upon the APBA set of 20 Greatest Negro League Teams by finding a methodology that would allow the Negro League compiled statistics, at least the fragment that has been compiled, to be converted into statistics that would have the Negro League APBA player cards play ‘realistically’ with MLB APBA cards.

The book is published by AJ Publishing and goes for a measly 9 bucks.

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

  1. The review doesn’t say how they made the card set. Does the book? (Was it Staffa?)

  2. I did find this

    A set of cards based David Lawrence’s research. The cards are published by the APBA Journal.
