I heard back from Anthony Stevens who hosted the Happy Days themed Florida’s Spring Break from Reality APBA Baseball Tournament. Tony sent me the standings of the tourney. Congrats to Arthur Sparks who won the tournament with the 1950 New York Yankees!

* indicates that the order was decided based on the tie breaker of head-to-head games.
** indicates that the order was decided based on the tie breaker of run differential against the other teams with the same record.
Interestingly, the 1961 Yankees came in last.
Congrats to Arthur and kudos to Tony for a successful tournament.
Very close tournament. #10, ’67 Cardinals (Gary Blackman) had an opportunity to finish 4th if he won his last game, but just couldn’t pullout a hot ’54 Indians team (Anthony Orlando) whose team was surging at the end of the day. ’60 Pirates (Phil Blinn) were similar. Started out 0-4, barely scoring a few runs, but finished strong. ’69 mets (Tony Stevens) ace Tom Seaver pitched a no-hitter against the ’69 Orioles (Mike Sparks). Couldn’t have picked a more appropriate team to do that to IMHO.
Thanks everyone for being flexible and making the day fun. Looking forward to Saturday, October 20th.
