After the month of April, our Illowa APBA League is 39 games into our season. As you can see my Twin City Thunderchickens are languishing in last place… We’re 15-24 and don’t see much hope of improving. But the strange thing is this… we lead the lead in…
I’ve run across a new APBA blog out there called APBA Baseball Replays billing itself as “replaying baseball history with the APBA game engine”. I admit my blog is a bit heavy on APBA league stuff and bit light on the topic of APBA replays so I think is awesome.…

Reader Kevin sent me a email with a question regarding roster sizes of the card sets. I think it’s worth bringing up. If one person is confused about it and wrote in about it, there are probably 100 others who are wondering the same thing… most likely those who are…
In the same vein as Teddy’s Draft Review, here is his 2009 Illowa APBA League Trade Analysis. It’s something I started back in 90’s. It was picked up for a few years by Rob Moore and now Teddy does it. There’s a saying. “Forget the sword of truth, wield the…
