This that and the other:
With the closing of the Geocities web hosting service, YABL has had to relocate their fine website. You can now find them at http://webspace.webring.com/people/fb/burgda/. Important not only to find out about their league but for another reason. League member and webmaster Doug Burg maintains the APBA Baseball Card 12 List and Publication Data web page. So many times APBA fans ask me if there is a way to identify their APBA cards… to find out what year they are. I always point them to Doug’s APBA Card 12 List page. Very handy.

Not many times can you say that one player remains with the same APBA league team for 19 seasons. Such is the case with Tom Glavine who has played for my Twin Cities Thunderchickens since 1991. Glavine pitched his last game for the Illowa APBA League last Saturday.
He retires with an Illowa win-loss record of 241-195. I posted a tearful farewell to Glavine over at the Illowa APBA League’s web site.

Marc Rinaldi wants us to pass the word about APBA Games’ Facebook page. Be a fan or something.

It might be asking the world but Kindle Nation Daily would like to see some Kindle apps based on APBA, Strat-o-matic etc. I’m not holding my breath.
I think an iPhone/iPod Touch app for APBA or Strat would be a HUGE money maker. Charge something like $25-$30 for the initial app (game + 1 season) then charge $10 for extra seasons. Just make it the basic game, have some way to keep stats and keep score. I would buy it.
iAPBA? Get Rinaldi on it, stat!
seriously, not a bad idea.
That is a great idea.
