APBA Experience:

            Thanks for the welcome, guys. It's a pleasure to be here. I'll finish the '62 season in Meadville and start fresh as the Lyme Ticks in '63. It appears this franchise has a long grueling climb to respectability. I'm already fantasizing about the 1963 draft class.

            As for me, I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan. Been playing baseball sims since my early teens. Made up my own crude game out of a baseball dartboard. Frank Duffy smacking four homers in a game left me unfulfilled. Extra Innings was the first baseball sim I owned. Finished a OFAS season with the Yanks beating the Dodgers in the series. I've also played Pursue the Pennant and Strat. I've been playing BBW since the late 80s.
