APBA Baseball
 

Is anyone interested in starting a league?

How about a Strat O Matic league?

I rember playing this game for hours with my friends as a kid. Still a few years away from retirement but would enjoy playing it again. Remember the table top rod hockey games. I couldn't wail till my son turned 8 then I bought him it for Christmas. He looked at me and said, " Dad, they invented this thing called video games!

I ran Strato leagues for years in NY. I'd be interested in getting a league together. The favorite league we used was 1956.

Tom,

I played in a Strat leagues for 30 years up north until I moved here last week. I hope there is some more interest.

:1rotfl:

My son was playing with my two nephews who were always arguing/fighting. one made the other so mad, he ripped the board in half. My son, (the referee), then taped the board togather and play resumed.

They still talk about it today at family gatherings. :)

Back to the thread. I never played, so I think I'll decline from joining.

Sorry to hijack your thread, NYAZFL. (New York, Arizona, Florida???). I played APBA for a few years before switching over to Strat-O-Matic. And with the great Stat program which gathers all statistics on computer it is easy and accurate to keep track of stats.

I am interested in starting a Strato league. Of course people have different ideas about the format to use, but it would be worth gathering at a meeting place to throw it around. If anyone is interested lets see what we can do.

Strat-O-Matic has changed since the three dice and player cards. The newer SOM is computerized and keeps track of the stats, makes the schedules and puts players on the disabled list when they acquire an injury. Each team has their own choice of a home ball park. The old Yankee Stadium, Ebberts Field, Fenway Park, Polo Grounds etc. Player cards are no longer needed and the computer rolls the dice for you. SOM is not a video game, so to speak, although it does show a video with each at bat. I remember when Duke Snider took Robin Roberts deep and hit one out of Yankee Stadium.

They still make the dice and card set.
Your photo is making me thirsty Tom!
I could go for a Brigham's Coffee Frappe right now!
If I could find one.

Please explain what APBA is to the ones of us who have no idea.
Thanks

Apba is a baseball game similar to Strat-o-matic. A great game. You manage players like Mantle, Mays Arron, Kaline and have to know when to pull out Kofax from a game. You have to have a mind like Casey Stengel and Joe McCarthy. The good thing is, you don't have to deal with the players attitudes.

Old thread, but when I move to TV later this year, I'd be very interested in an APBA league. What memories!
