Participants drafted teams and players one month ago. They are now beginning to reveal which season they will be using for their fantasy player. I can tell you now which Napoleon Lajoie card I will be using.
This one from 1901…
Regulation play will include two games against each opponent except for the Jennings Division. There will be a special schedule for them to ensure that they play the same amount of games as everyone else. Printed schedules will be available at the tourney.
We will be trying to connect up with the Neil Ess Memorial Twin Cities APBA Baseball Tournament via a video link at some point. They are playing their tourney on the same day. There will be prizes and a trophy for the overall champion. Tom Fulton says he may even bring something for the winner, too.
Details again for those who are coming…
Date: April 1st, 2017
Time: Starts at 9am
Location: Drury Inn, Champaign, Illinois
Cost: $15.00
