Some due thanks and Happy Holidays!

Fellow APBA fans,

With the holidays almost upon us, this will most likely be the last post before the new year and certainly before Christmas Day.    If I’m lucky to get some time alone, I might post something next week.  Who knows?

It’s been a year of transition for the game of APBA, the community of fans and especially the company.  I think when all was said and done, the adage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” holds true.  We’ve gotten the new disk, the card numbers look about the way they should, and the date for card delivery is right around the corner.  APBA as a tabletop sports game is as strong as ever, in my opinion.

The APBA Blog is a labor of love for me.  Of the several blogs I run, The APBA Blog is the one I enjoy writing for and working on the most.  I’ve learned “how to do it right” (almost).  Most of the credit though, goes to you, the readers.  I enjoy the feedback and interaction.  So thanks.  I wouldn’t have as much fun without you all.  

Finally to the point of this article, I want to take the time to wish everyone, my old friends as well as the people who I’ve had the pleasure to interact with for the first time this year, a happy and safe holiday season.

I’m looking forward to an even better 2012!

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.

  2. Tom,

    The APBA Blog has become one of my favorite APBA spots here on the internet.

    I can’t thank you enough for all you do here. Your columns are always interesting and well thought out.

    I think 2012 will be a great year for the APBA Blog as more and more of APBANation click on and read.

    Thanks again for the Blog but also for being a friend and sharing APBA ideas with me.
