Ed Zack's APBA baseball handbook: A quick look

APBA gods Pete Simonelli and John Cochrane were the first to tell me about the APBA baseball handbook, and APBA god Steve Ryan (APBA Chatter here on the 'Tube) provided this incredibly rare second-edition copy. Densely packed with information, Ed Zack's handbook is one of the most incredible documents in sports simulation/board game/fantasy sports history.

I tracked Mr. Zack down in 2012 and interviewed him for our original Facebook page. Stay tuned for an edited version of that audio.

it has been my goal since we started the AFC in 2011 to create a football version. Some folks have done work in that regard — Denny Hodge, Ron Taylor, Lawrence Regira, Kenn Tomasch — and I am to resurrect the project ASAP.

The Zack handbook has been online for the past 10 years and is undergoing constant revision; follow along at:
