I heard from my friend Bob Eller who I haven’t seen in a while. He and Jim Saska went to highly awaited Ed Zack Memorial Tournament. Bob sent this report and provided a couple photos!
Two Chicagoland APBA Tournament veterans were among 20 players at the Ed Zack Memorial Tournament on April 6-7 at the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Jim Saska reached the playoffs with the 2016 Cubs, while Bob Eller managed the 2001 Mariners to a 5-5 record.
Ryan Morrison took home the championship with the 2004 Cardinals. A big thanks to Geoff Giordano from the APBA Football Club and APBA Hall of Famer John Cochrane for organizing and running the show. What a thrill to roll the dice in Cooperstown!
Thanks for the update, Bob! It looks like everyone had a good time. Congratulations to Ryan Morrison for taking the tourney championship!
If you get the chance to make it to an APBA tournament at Cooperstown, I highly recommend it. An experience you won’t forget!
