I just ran across this Gazette.net article in my news feed: Legendary coach chases his passion. It’s about Terry Changuris, the high school baseball coach being recognized for his 158-31 record and seven state championships. What helped foster Changuris’ love of baseball as a kid? You bet.

I’m nearing the end of my run of disclosing the results of The Great APBA Fan Survey I did a couple weeks ago (here are the responses I’ve posted so far). Tonight, I ‘m going to post the answers you gave about how to get more youth involved in the…
