We have a second league profile in as many days. Today, Southern APBA Baseball Association (SABA) is on the pedestal for display. Wayne Hughes wrote in to tell me about SABA which is a retro league that has been around for 37 years.

Here’s what Wayne says about SABA:
We are an 18-team retro league currently finishing the 1990 season. We are in our 37th year. We also have a few openings for managers right now as we’ve had a couple managers quit due to health reasons. The new season starts in two more months. We’d like to hear from you if you’re interested.
Bob Grant is our President.
I don’t hear about too many retro leagues though I know they are out there. A few of my league members are frequently talking about starting up a side retro league but time commitments seem to get in the way. I’d love to hear more about how these leagues are set up and run.
Side note: I’m on vacation and just rambled through Nebraska. Go Red. Am I doing it right? Welcome to the Big Ten, Huskers. Nice choice of Darin Erstad for your baseball coach.
If you want to brag about your league, we’re listening! Tell us all about the league you are in and we’ll post a profile about it.
In the meantime, read about other leagues who have written in.
