Apba baseball pitching grades8/9/2023 ![]() ![]() I moved to the shadows of Cooperstown in 1974, and could have attended Ralph’s induction, but I really wasn’t following baseball and its history that closely at the time. I remember my first visit to Cooperstown, in 1965, and being surprised that Ralph Kiner, an idol in Pittsburgh, was not a member of the HOF - it took another decade for that to happen. To be honest, those plaques don’t mean as much to me as they used to - although I’m sure they remain an extremely high honor for those so honored. ![]() I was glad to see the re-configured-again Veterans Committee vote somebody in the Hall this winter, and while I was rooting for a few players to get the bronze cheer before Joe Gordon, I guess I really don’t object. By then it will be 2009, and I am hoping to have lots of new stuff to report on next year. This issue begins with a commentary on the latest “Hall of Famer-elect,” but then I report on yet another pair of APBA simulated series, and I think there may be at least one more on deck, then I’ll stop. So I suspect that I will gradually phase it out, relegating it to occasional mention here, the way it used to be. Feedback on my APBA simulations has been meager so far, and what little I’ve received has been split.
