It’s been a while since we had a League Profile. Hugh Brown filled out the form and sent me the data on his league simply called APBAL.
Hugh claims that APBAL is one of the oldest leagues in existence and I certainly can’t dispute that. APBAL was formed way back in 1960 making it an ancient 56 years old! They started with dice, boards and cards and then transitioned to BBW in 2010.
APBAL has documented their history pretty well on their web site. Take a look. The site includes highlights on past seasons, champions, records and as I said a brief history of the league.

Hugh says:
The APBA League was founded in 1960 as a face-to-face baseball league, but switched to the BBW game in 2010.
The vast majority of APBA leagues in existence today have been created in order to replay specific seasons or to afford the league’s managers some player continuity. In contrast to this, the concept of the A.P.B.A.L. is to allow its participants an opportunity to manage a variety of teams against well- balanced competition.
Thanks to Hugh for the history lesson about APBAL! Really good stuff!
