I just ran across this Gazette.net article in my news feed: Legendary coach chases his passion. It’s about Terry Changuris, the high school baseball coach being recognized for his 158-31 record and seven state championships.
What helped foster Changuris’ love of baseball as a kid? You bet. It was APBA.
“While the brothers followed professional baseball religiously — Terry said they started reading newspaper box scores before he could read — their biggest thrill came from playing outside in their backyard. They also collected baseball cards and played the All-Star Baseball and American Professional Baseball Association board games.
“During the summer whenever it was light outside we were playing whiffle ball or something,” Randy said. “At night, we were playing APBA or listening to WTOP on the radio in bed.”
