Here’s a little Christmas gift for all of you…Rickey Henderson. Not only was he the greatest leadoff hitter in MLB history, he was also the greatest player born on Christmas Day.
I hope everyone in the APBA community has a wonderful Christmas with their families and friends. Be sure to give YOURSELVES a little gift and roll some APBA today.
66s for all, and to all a good night!

I’ve been enjoying APBA since 1983. I now enjoy single-team replays and tournaments, and manage a team in the WBO. I’m a high school History & English teacher from Michigan, who also umpires high school and collegiate baseball. Check out the podcast I host with my brother, called
Double Take. Also, check out my umpire podcast called,

Roger Clemens vs Dave Stewart at Fenway
Henderson draws a first inning lead-off walk, moves to second on a hit and run ground-out, and scores on Canseco’s single.
And that was the offense for the day.
Best pitching duel I’ve ever witnessed.
