Description

Jack Dolan didn't become a baseball fan until his mid-30s, but his APBA life began in the early '80s during his time stationed in Germany. On Sept. 10,  he will host the first Shoeless Joe APBA Baseball Tournament at Fluor Field in Greenville, S.C.

The event cost includes tickets to the minor league Greenville Drive game against the Asheville Tourists that night as well as a tour of the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum. The field is notable for its Fenway Park specs — complete with Green Monster. Jack, who has run APBA's official soccer tournament and attended the Chicagoland regional event, shares his thoughts behind this latest entry into the APBA regional competition portfolio and what attendees can expect — and why the 1927 Yankees are exempt.  

33:12: What folks should bring and how to approach the Aug. 1 draft.

The APBA Football Club was launched on Jan. 28, 2011. Bringing the game of APBA Football into the social media world, we offered everything from interviews with APBA icons and players, method-of-play tutorials, close study of the game's player cards and results boards, and much more. In August 2013, we held the first full APBA Football-only tournament at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. After an initial run from 2011-16, we're back to assist in further promoting and educating the APBA community. 66s to all! For podcast ideas and feedback, email apbafootballcluboriginal@gmail.com
