One of the great things about APBA in my mind, is the ability to look at an APBA card and know immediately what kind of a hitter he’ll be. It’s the consistency of APBA’s cards that makes it fun. The order of good numbers are almost always the same. But…
I was doing some general research the other day and I noticed that APBA founder J. Richard Seitz does not have his own entry page on Wikipedia. Maybe it’s me but I thought that was a glaring omission. Besides being the founder of one of oldest tabletop sports games out…
We’re going in a bit of a different direction with MCM this week. He doesn’t have a lot of EBH numbers. He just has two 0s. You won’t find any 7s on his card either. As a matter of fact, he’s cursed with a 33-8. Nope, this week, it’s 1962…

Paul over at One for Five is a Strat-O-Matic player who also plays the APBA Soccer Game. At this point, he’s taking on a mini-season and is planning to blog his results. He promises a full review of the game later but if this posting is any indication, he seems…
This week for MCM, I’m going with a pitcher. Specifically, Carlos Zambrano of 2008. Heck, choose most any year and you’ll get a good hitting card for Zambrano (though 2010 was a down year with the bat for the Big Z). While a lot of pitchers get some juicy APBA…
