When you think about the Hall Of Fame, you think of great players who accomplished great things in the game of baseball. Names like Albert Pujols, Sal Madrid, J.D. Martin, & Mark Prior, just to name a few, all left their mark on the game. All put up some very impressive numbers, and all certainly belong in the HOF. These guys were some of the pioneers of the APBL, guys who gave 101% day in & day out. I know these players are all proud of what they accomplished, and rightfully so.
However I’m not here to talk about current HOF’ers, but rather about possible future HOF’ers, or at ... (click for more)
The Cleveland Indians, a team that was left pretty much rudderless and adrift during the recent off season, have begun to take the necessary steps towards “righting the ship”.

He excelled with the new opportunity, hitting between Single A and Double A in 76 games total. This gave Gilling a ratings boost to 2.5 stars.
Those insant numbers and ratings boost aw... (click for more)
Well, it makes me a little sad to announce we have a new Cleveland Indians owner in the APBL. Although we don't have much ownership change, I hate replacing owners, especially original owners. But at this time Jack was having a hard time finding the time between work, having 3 kids and working side jobs.
On that note, it makes me feel a little better that we have a new owner who looks like he will be a very good owner. He is a part of the Beta for OOTP 11 and looks to be active in rebuilding the Indians. He will have his work cut out for him being in one of the best divisions in the APBL... (click for more)
