The UTABL, a league based in Lancaster, had a little fun on their blog in anticipation of their upcoming weekend get-together held presumably at a cabin .
They posted a “Top Ten Cabin Predictions”. Take number 1 for example:
1) Someone will attempt to destroy a set of dice. (Dice take the most abuse at the [...]
I’m opening this up to the wide (snort) audience here. I got this question over at The Baseball Zealot.
I have the greatest teams of the past from 1967 and Roger Maris is rated a 3 in the outfield. Could any 67 season owner tell me if he was rated a 3 in the [...]
I found this ad for the ABA League on Active Rain, a Real Estate social network site.
It’s sounds fun..
It concludes:
We cap off our Convention on Sunday @the Blue Oyster Diner in Oxford Valley Mall area and our league Commissioner(Jerry) leaves to preach at his church !!!
I’m sure managing an APBA team gives [...]
The North East League is running a search for a new manager for an open franchise in their league. According to contact Dave Studeman, the NEL is the very first play-by-mail simulation league. They’ve been around for 50 years. This is their first manager search in 12 years so obviously the NEL is very consistent [...]
A quick note: The Illowa APBA League’s web site has been updated. It’s the final edition of the 2009 season which if my math is right, was our 35th season.
Mighty congratulations to my blogging cohort, Teddy Ballgame whose Chicago Champions won 99 games. That not only clinched first place but was eleven games over [...]
My 2009 season in the Illowa APBA League is proof that a good, or at least decent, offense isn’t everything. My Twin Cities Thunderchickens just finished the year in last place out of ten teams.

With the Illowa APBA League’s rookie draft and opening day less than a month away, we’re smack dab in the middle of our trading season. This is evident by the list of trades that our league has made. I’ve stayed out of the trading fray so far but once we get together in person, it [...]
This that and the other:
With the closing of the Geocities web hosting service, YABL has had to relocate their fine website. You can now find them at http://webspace.webring.com/people/fb/burgda/. Important not only to find out about their league but for another reason. League member and webmaster Doug Burg maintains the APBA Baseball Card 12 List and [...]
This Saturday will be the last series of the year for my Twin Cities Thunderchickens. No, I won’t be duking it out for a playoff spot. We’ve got last place pretty much sewed up, thank you. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be a little tension when I play the Green Rock Bombers this [...]
This satirical piece on The Sportsman’s Daily about a boy finding a dice baseball game in his dad’s attic is a somewhat funny in a bittersweet way for us APBA fans.
“It was kind of cute for a while,” said Jose. “It brought back some terrific memories like trading Jimmy “Toy Cannon” Wynn over to [...]
