IMG_2423-002

The divisions have been released for the Chicagoland APBA Tournament which will take place on July 19th.  The word has come from on high.  According to tournament organizer Jim Saska, it was Mrs. Saska who picked the teams out of a hat.

According to Jim:

Every team will play each team in it’s division one time.  The top two teams in each division, based on record and total # of runs scored, will move on to the winner’s bracket, or championship single-elimination bracket.  The other twelve teams will play in a loser’s bracket, single elimination and be ranked according to record and runs scored.

Here are the divisions…

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as the BBW Boys of Summer APBA League since 2014. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

  1. Jim, it was nice of you to name the division after the manager who was going to win it. ;-)

  2. Have a great time boys; and, Lord willing, I’ll see you in November.

      Sorry to see you and Shawn not coming. Hope to see you both this fall.

      Shawn, I was going to bring the 84 Tigers and play a Cubs/Tigers set. Maybe some other time.

  3. 18 teams!?! NICE! Good luck to everyone, and great looking shirts, Tom!

  4. It has been rumored that there will be a door prize for whoever wins the Maddux division.

    How do these tales get started?

    DonS.
