Tomorrow will be an “APBA” day. First, I’m going to my buddy Brando’s house to play some dice APBA. More than likely, I’ll help him with his 1930 replay. Brando tells me he’s through August in the AL/NL effort.
I thought about us playing some of my own 1966 NL replay but I’ll have other things to be concerned about. Why? At the same time, I’ll be finishing up the draft in Shawn Baier’s Boys of Summer APBA League’s which we will be conducting online. I’m all set with spreadsheets with available players and draft orders and such. Between picks, I think Brando and I should be able to roll a couple times.
If that’s not enough, I’ll be watching the University of Illinois baseball team’s progress via GameTracker. They’re playing down in South Carolina and will be playing about the same time the BoS draft starts.
No-hitter alert
Speaking of Brando’s 1930 replay, he emailed me to let me know that Wes Farrell is making news again. He’s pitched his second no-hitter in his replay.
Says Brando:
“Wes Ferrell pitches his second no-hitter of the season against the St Louis Browns. In the first end of a double header Ferrell walked 4 ko’d 5 for his 26th victory and 6th shutout of the year. Cleveland gave him 16 runs in support against Dick Coffman a ‘D’ plain.”
If memory serves, Farrell is one of two A starters in the 1930 AL. Lefty Grove is the other.
All right Brando! two in one year a pitcher. A rare feat indeed.
Yes, especially in 1930 ;-)
I suppose TomN (6th pick) & JohnB (2nd pick) discussed who each is going to take in the ILLOWA league draft next Friday night.
I would have liked to be a mouse in the corner.
I have 1st pick & 4th pick.
DonS.
Indeed we did, DonS. “Who’s Don going to pick?” we said.
I think Puig but what do I know?
