Default Apba

About a year ago, I purchased an early 1970's complete APBA game, with several 1950's teams. As noted by Milkit1's comments on Cy's post of the Wagner APBA card, it looks very confusing to start, but is easily understood after starting to play. The black numbers are the dice roll (red die 1-6, white die 1-6) and then corresponding red numbers are evaluated on the Situation Board. Each hitter and pitcher is graded (with corresponding numbers) based on the previous season stats.

I have played about 20 games over the past year, but a season would be time consuming (even for a single team, let alone a league). APBA also has "extended" rules for experienced players to get into stealing, bunting, field player movement (shifts, infield in, etc) but I have not gotten to these add-ons yet. All and all, fun to play.
