This modification comes from John Briggs from the Roberto Clemente Memorial Baseball Association. John is the one who suggested the Slow Runners Runners Card in a past article if you want to take a look at that. This time, John and the RCMBA are addressing how APBA addresses fielding and errors. Now, as much as [...]
Our third installment of League Mods comes from Steve Stein of the Transcontinental Baseball League. This one falls under the category of online league tools. It’s called the Schedule Tracker and color me impressed! I know my commissioner would love to have this for our league. Here’s a quick screen shot: (click to enlarge) Essentially, [...]
The second entry in the APBA League Modifications and Tools Series comes from my own league, the Illowa APBA League. I can take the credit/blame for instituting the Pitcher’s Hitting Card in the IAL though admittedly it was not my creation. I picked it up somewhere from a fellow APBA player (I can’t remember [...]
I thought I’d do a series of articles which share a few modifications or tools that APBA leagues have been using. John Briggs brings us our first entry. He’s a manager in the Roberto Clemente Memorial Baseball Association. The RCMBA saw a need to adjust how the optional base coaching was done in the APBA [...]
Devoted reader Steve Stein writes in an email: “How about a post on cool tools your APBA league has devised?” I think partially this is Steve’s nice way of saying “Tom, get off your butt and update the blog, wouldya?”. And that’s a fair point, I’ve been so involved with covering the University [...]
John Briggs emails me to let us know that the Roberto Clemente Memorial Baseball Association has changed web addresses. You can now find them at http://www.rcmba.com/. If any other leagues change addresses, feel free to let me know. Also, if you want to tell us about your league, just fill out the quick and easy [...]
Ricky Moore of The Matt Kading Memorial APBA League checks in and gives us a report on their league’s 2010 draft: Tampico went into Saturday’s 2010 Matt Kading Memorial APBA League draft needing to add depth, especially in the field. Stogies General Manager Ricky Moore was pleased with his 10 selections, but still unhappy [...]
Nothing like getting beat 5 games to 1 over Skype. Teddy and his Champions ate me up like this morning’s breakfast today while we played our March series for the Illowa APBA League. Maybe I was paying too much attention to the Illinois baseball game in the background (they won 11-3, yay) but it was [...]
Well, despite my offers and suggestions, I made it through the Illowa APBA League off season without making a single trade. More to the point at hand, congratulations to Tedd and his Chicago Champions. On Friday night, they breezed through the playoffs and then swept the Rising Bamm! Beanos to win our World Series. [...]
With the Illowa APBA League draft convention one day away, it’s beginning to be crunch time. I have six pitchers and just one graded starter on my pitching staff at this point. The only good news is that I have six draft picks including the #1 pick, for our upcoming rookie draft (David Price, anyone?). [...]
