I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA.
I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
Rod Caborn sent in an update on the Orlando APBA Association. His Orlando APBA Association 2024 Yearbook is comparable with his past league’s documentation.
One of my favorite things about doing the annual Pitching Grade Challenge is virtually learning about APBA fans everywhere. Scott Miller is a great case in point. You all finally get to hear about Scott, the final winner of the Pitching Grade Challenge 7.
