Randy Egan wins battle of the Dodgers at the Toledo Glass City APBA Baseball tournament

Tournament winner Randy Egan (left) is handed the trophy by organizer Ron Emch

Last weekend, Randy Egan’s 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers defeated Nathan Mikkelson’s 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers for the Toledo Glass City APBA Baseball tournament.  With 20 teams participating ranging from Joe Schuetz 1905 New York Giants to two teams from 2013 (including Randy’s Dodgers who went 5-1 for the day) it was a varied tourney. 

Tournament participants have already expressed how much fun they had.  Phrases like “Great tournament!” and “This was such a good time. I can’t remember when I’ve ever rolled such exciting games.” are being said about tournament organizer Ron Emch’s first go-round.  It’s worth mentioning that their were a few participants who were relatively new to the game of APBA.  I know Ron made an effort to accommodate for that and it sounds like everyone had a great time. 

Check out some of the action in the video that Ron uploaded to YouTube:
