Richard Seitz started APBA in 1951 after he was so excited about the Whiz Kids 1950 season. I think he had been creating his own sets and refining a game called National Pastime from 1931 that he played as a kid.
I bid against Mark M. for a copy of National Pastime several years ago but lost, I think there has been a reproduction of it sold in the last few years. While Strat was sold in toy stores going back to the 1970s I think APBA first tried it around 1995 during their "dark" years of change. The 1950-54 APBA original sets are very scarce with the 1955 & 56 seasons also pretty darned tough to find. Thankfully the company has reprinted these seasons so that everyone can own them. The reprints are vastly different in appearance from the originals. I think the early Strat seasons are very tough too.
