The APBA Baseball game is one of the more well-known in a line of what has become known as “replay” baseball games (Strat, Replay, Dynasty League, Out-of-the-Park, Pursue the Pennant, and so on). Several of these games have computerized versions (e.g., Diamond Mind). Sometime, I want to hear the COL story.Welcome to UBTG, the revolution in strategy baseball boardgames! We do not wish to knock the great tradition of APBA Baseball, but we want you to be aware of how UBTG is different and revolutionary. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your league, Dick! I’m always impressed with every league I come into contact with. will be meeting on February 11 for their 35th annual Winter Meeting. Like our Illowa APBA League, Mike Schmidt was a charter member.ĭ.V.A.L. I particularly enjoyed looking over D.V.A.L.’s Hall of Fame section and the members’ career stats.
Like OAPBA’s, it is massive with plenty to devour. Dick thought OAPBA’s yearly yearbook was awesome but I think D.V.A.L.’s is pretty impressive too.
Less monster teams and more realistic lineups.ĭick was gracious enough to share the 2018 D.V.A.L. In addition, I’ll bet the limited draft pool makes for a more balanced league. A new “rookie” coming into a league in prime of his career is a whole new ball of wax. Now, I had heard about NL-only or AL-only leagues before but the draft factor was something I had never thought of before. The other good thing about it is a bad team can get good faster because of those kind of guys being in the draft.” Guys like Roy Halladay when he first came to the Phillies, Randy Johnson when he came to HOU, etc. It does make for some interesting drafts because veteran star players who move to the NL appear in our draft. Anyway, that’s why you won’t find any mention of players like Jeter, A-Rod, etc. “In case you’re wondering, we are a 12 team league and draft only from 14 NL teams (not COL – long story). I love hearing about different leagues and Dick gave me snapshot of what the 35-year old league was all about… I recently heard from Dick Moore who hails from the Delaware Valley APBA League.
