Tournaments through the Years

The numbers don't reflect the time, dedication & heart that goes into these posts. I have done 885 posts up to this point (with just under 157,000 hits on the site) and I can't tell you how many I started that didn't go anywhere, drafts that died before they ever seen the light of day. 

The most popular APBA Tournament post is GMABT IV: Nice Guys Finish First (Spatz & Zawadzki), a tournament piece that I done, which may not be among my best written, while I was not present at that tournament like most of my tournament pieces... 

but if you read them, you would have thought I was there, and that was the intention, I wanted these articles to be intimate like that. 

Here's a list of APBA Tournaments that I wrote about through the years...

I wrote these articles not because I was asked to, I wrote them on my free will, because I loved my APBA community and the friends that came with it. These articles are never easy, but they were written to inspire others that loved the game of APBA to give face-to-face tournaments a chance.

Toledo Glass City APBA Divisions Announced

This trophy will go to the winner of Toledo's inaugural winner, who will it be?

My friend Ron Emch is hosting his first APBA Baseball Tournament this Saturday, August 29th -- The Toledo Glass City APBA Baseball Tournament in Maumee, Ohio at the Maumee-Bowling Green Elks Lodge.

It should be a wonderful tournament with plenty of recognizable faces going, I will be making a strong attempt at it next summer, it's a clear shot down for I-75 for me.

I got the news on the division setups, and they are as follow....

I always like to make a prediction of these, so I'm going with Darren Schulz's 1937 Yankees. Good luck to everyone, it should be a blast!

Toledo Glass APBA Tournament

Holy Toledo, Batman! We are less than a month away from the Toledo Glass APBA Baseball Tournament hosted by Ron Emch. There is still plenty of room to sign up for the tournament & plenty of teams available to play.

The Tournament will take place August 29th (Saturday) at 9:00 am -- at Maumee-Bowling Green Elks Lodge #1850 in Maumee, Ohio.

Here is the link to the events page on Facebook

The event can hold up to 32 participants, 20 are signed up to attend.

I unfortunately can make it to the event, but plan to next year -- for me it's actually quite a quick trip down there, according to Mapquest, a 4 12 trip, in which I would take I-75 most of the way.

Plenty plan to see the Toledo Mudhens as well -- so find out what you can from Ron, he's a great guy, he's done wonderful videos on other APBA tournaments in the past. Without a doubt, this tournament should be a wonderful success, which will have plenty of fun!
