Boys of Summer League starts drafting today!

tigerbobToday is draft day #1 in the Boys of Summer APBA League.  Before we go into the draft, I must correct an overdue congratulations announcement.  Hearty congrats go to “Tiger” Bob Mosher (left) and his Fairgrove Tigers for winning the BoS World Series.  He defeated Brad Stark’s Portland Microbrewers four games to two. 

Nice going, Bob!!

Our Boys of Summer draft is conducted online via Facebook and email.  Today, we plan to get a few rounds out of the way but for the next week, it will be done mostly over email.  So different than the intense one hour draft in the same room that we have in the IAL! 

Here is how the first few picks went.

We have 14 rounds to go.  Each team dropped between 13 to 16 players and we are now picking from available players including those dropped players. 

While their some talented rookies out there, I have a feeling I may be drafting back some of the players I dropped. 

Jonny Gomes, I miss you already!

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.
