It’s less than 2 1/2 months away from the Prairieland APBA Baseball Tournament. The tournament is scheduled for April 16th at the Hampton Inn in Urbana, Illinois.
Right now we have at least ten participants with eight confirmed teams taken. Here is the latest roll call:
| Dick Butler | 1908 Chicago Cubs |
| Lew Ramey | 1908 New York Giants |
| Tom Fulton | 1911 New York Giants |
| Thomas Nelshoppen | 1930 New York Giants |
| Bob Eller | 1948 Cleveland Indians |
| Eric Berg | 1969 Minnesota Twins |
| Lance Freezeland | 1977 LA Dodgers |
| Dave Rueck | 2015 Pittsburgh Pirates |
There a few attendees still deciding what team they would like to bring. I mean, that’s part of the fun!
I am going to establish March 1st as a “soft” deadline for new participants to register and let me know which teams they would like to play at PABT. If you want to take on the Prairieland APBA Baseball Tournament, feel free to email me or let us know on the tournament event page on Facebook. Remember, only teams with less than 100 wins are eligible to be chosen. Full rules can be found here.
We will certainly accept registrants after the March 1 date but this will help give the organizers a better sense of who is coming and what teams will be used.
Looking forward to this!
