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.
