Nigel Earhart and Andy Palamino
At the recent APBA Convention and Tournament, Nigel Earhart (Charm City - NL) and Andy Palamino (Havana - AL) "ended up, unexpectedly, sitting next to each other at dinner last night. Imagine our surprise when we discovered who each other was. It’s a fun time down here in Georgia. Hopefully some of you will come down sometime for the convention." - Nigel
WOW! Gentlemen, that was great that you got to meet each other while sharing a passion for APBA/BBW
From Nik
June 17 - Guys a huge apology as I muddle through an absolutely chaotic late Spring and early Summer.
This has resulted me to be a couple of Player Awards Weeks behind (BTW .., there will be one award for Weeks 8/9) and behind on a project to try and centralize a few things which include but are not limited to Awards History, Trade Register, Draft Grid and so on.
Much appreciated for continuing to cope with this.

I had to put this sample on the site. I just love the way Ron Groski writes in the manner of his team's name, ... The Shakespeares
Delaware Blue Hens
Stratford Shakespeares
​
Series Preview:
Attend, good folk, and list a tale of might,
Where Stratford’s troupe did on the field engage,
Against bold Delaware, in contest tight,
Their bats unsheathed, their gloves a vengeful cage.
Game #1:In first encounter, tight and scoreless kept,
Till Delaware by cunning slip did break,
A wild pitch loosed, where hapless Shakespeare wept,
Two runs they stole, yet Stratford would awake.
Altuve fell by Brewer’s errant throw,
Ortiz took wing, though fleet he is but not—
A single run they carved from out their woe,
Yet Delaware held firm, their lead unbought.
So closed the fray, two runs to one the fate,
The Shakespeares bowed, yet vowed to storm the gate.
​
​Series Summary:
Thus ends this tale of diamond’s fierce delight,
Where Shakespeares wrote their triumphs in the night.
