Clayton Klapper writes in about his league based in Arizona called MDN_08. His league is comprised of high school students who play over the summer.
I don’t want to sound like an old fogey here but in this day and age of video games (I admit to enjoying them too), it’s nice to see that [...]
Craig Ball writes to plug his league, the Matt Kading Memorial APBA League.
His update has a bit of bittersweet touch. The league’s name is derived from a manager who was killed serving his country in Iraq. Every league has its issues but something like this puts everything into perspective.

John Briggs emailed us about his 15 team mail league, the Roberto Clemente Memorial Baseball Association. The RCMBA has been around a spell, since 1975. Six of the 15 teams in the league are based in Pennsylvania or Ohio with others in NY, KY, MI, FL, MD and even as far west as Missouri. [...]
Ok, here’s a league with a grade A website. The Mid-West Baseball League, mostly based out of the US Midwest, has one of the most complete and flashiest web sites I’ve seen for an APBA league.
The MWBL league database goes back to 1997. They’ve documented their stats, awards, league leaders, everything. Very impressive. [...]
Over the holidays, Marc Ross sent me some info on his league, the Mail 3 League. Take some time to check out Mail 3’s web site. They’ve done an excellent job not only stat keeping but also documenting their history.
I also notice that their constitution is online. I think that’s invaluable for those of [...]
From down south, we have the Orlando APBA Association.
Reading Rod Caborn’s summary, I couldn’t help but notice their mid-season call-up system.
"25 man active roster with total 35 man rosters (10 inactive for year. At mid-season, maximum of three call-ups allowed (and three sent down)"
A few in my league [...]
As soon as I post this about the Yesterday APBA Baseball League, I’m forwarding it to our league. Because Chuck from our league is always asking me if I’m interested in undertaking a project similar to what they are doing. And after looking at the YABL web site, it does look like fun.
You see, [...]

Steve Stein and Walter Hunt both wrote in to tell us about their league, the Transcontinental Baseball League. True to its name, the 24-team league spans both the USA and Canada. One thing that struck out about this league was its yearly publication. It’s very professionally done and slick!
