I think every true baseball fan has those special moments with their favorite team. I’m not necessarily talking about championships and unique experience, though those are certainly important. I’m talking about the moments spent in your backyard, in the neighborhood with friends, or playing Little League ball when a favorite…
Ahh, those 11s, 10s, and 14*s. Stolen bases in APBA baseball. Every card has a personality, whether it be power, contact, or speed. However, those base stealers always stick out when we scrutinize APBA cards. Though, depending on what baseball era you’re playing with, the base stealers may be abundant…

Last week, reader Mark asked if The APBA Blog could post Eric Davis’ 1986 card. As it turned out, Davis’ 1986 card was in the queue for Monster Monday. As I was searching for Kirby Puckett’s card for his post, I ran across Davis’ and it was too good to…
