Meet Mr 2009 of APBA Baseball. 
For each dice roll number on the card, I’ve determined the most common result number using the card data from all the position players in both leagues.  Then I made a composite card out of it.
 
 

 
This card won’t win any MVP awards, that’s for sure. 
I gave him [...]

The network was down where I was at so it gave me some time to look at the 2009 disk some again.  More fun with Excel.  Maybe there’s room for one more segment in the 2009 APBA Baseball set: By the Numbers series. 
We’ll start with a couple of team comparisons today.  Then I’ll look [...]

In my last segment of APBA’s 2009 baseball set by the numbers, I’m going to break down at some of the more esoteric (ok, esoteric for us Basic Game guys) ratings used by the computer game.  Hopefully, that will give you an idea of the value of a rating in comparison to the rest of [...]

Last night, I broke down the position players of new 2009 APBA baseball set number-wise.  Tonight, it’s the pitchers’ turn.  A little more difficult what without all the fun hit numbers and all but I still did all right.

Let’s start off with a simple breakdown of the graded [...]

I’m getting  a good look at the numbers for the 2009 APBA Baseball disk file today.  I thought I’d play around a bit and break it down number-wise.  After some sorting and filtering, here is the 2009 set by the numbers. 
Today, I’m strictly looking at the position players.   Maybe tomorrow, I’ll break down the [...]

One of the highlights of the offseason in APBA-land is the release of the disc for the just-finished season. I don’t even use Baseball for Windows anymore, and yet I still buy the disc. This year, for the first time, I pre-ordered it and received it [...]

The emailed “disk” is making its way into people’s inboxes.  By now, we know the official pitching grades and with a little extrapolation, the hitting numbers of the 2009 set. 
The big story among pitchers is the re-appearance of split grades.  And I mean SPLIT grades.  Phil Hughes is rated a 3 (24*) or a [...]

Yesterday, when cleaning out my office I found a treasure.  After being lost for at least 10 years, I found my George Brett autographed APBA card.  And there’s a pretty cool story that goes with it, too.
In the early 90’s, after I graduated from college and before I could find a job in my [...]

Every year at the end of the MLB season and when APBA releases their carded player list, our league gets a pretty good idea how the APBA baseball cards will look like for the following year.  Like clockwork, our tireless commissioner, Mike Bunch, releases his predictions for the IAL league players. 
Yeah, I know what [...]

The APBA Game Co has just realeased the list of carded players for the 2009 baseball set.  Here is the link to the list (in pdf form).
I’m just getting a chance to look at it for the first time right now.  I’ll probably have some comments on it later.
