September 17-19 is the Illowa APBA League’s All-Star Weekend. Managers began spilling in to the Best Western at Naperville, Illinois this Friday afternoon.
Aside from playing the All-Star Game, we get some IAL regular season games, too.
I took timeout from socializing and playing games to snap a couple shots.
The guys playing the first set of games on Friday night. If you look closely, it appears like Joe Torre (who has been rumored to play APBA himself) is overseeing everything from the television.
Many thanks to my buddy Brando who presented me with a new dice cup that he made himself in his woodshop. This one is even sturdier than the one before and won’t crack under the pressure of Illowa pitching like the last one.
Albert Pujols loves the cup. He’s hit five homeruns in six games with it.
Alas, some managers in the IAL like Todd are sacrilegious and don’t use a cup.
I’ve had good luck (emphasize luck) so far. My Thunderchickens defeated the 2nd place Kentucky Kernels 4 games to 2.
All-Star game is tomorrow.
