CLuke and I did a show last night.  Here are the show notes:

Hosts: Tom and Chuck

Summary:  We touch on a variety of issues including the All-Star Game, vintage baseball, Tom’s 1979 APBA replay, the upcoming APBA convention and the woes of the Chicago White Sox.

As we said during the show, sometime co-host Shawn Lee is busy with the vintage base ball team, Vermilion Voles.  For a couple years, he’s been the webmaster for them so check out their website. 

This year, he’s picking up the bat and playing on the team.  Shawn said he couldn’t make the show because the Voles had a game.  Later, he reported back and said the Voles split their double header.  Interestingly, the team they played are from my hometown, the Urbana Boneyards. 

Here is the link to Tom’s 1979 APBA National League replay that we talked about during the show.  Much credit goes to my friend Brando who was responsible for the NL West.  As I said, we only got as far as July 26 but enjoy anyway. 

The APBA Convention is next weekend.  For those interested, here is the link to register (if it’s not too late).  Chuck mentioned the APBA Between the Lines Forum during the show.  I’d highly recommend it to any APBA player who wants to chat with others who play the game. 

Finally, one more promised link… Soxcast.com is a good podcast for White Sox fans.  George Heidcamp does a fine job covering the team. 

Thanks for listening!!

Chuck and I host this week. Afterwards, Chuck said that hosting Baseball Zealot Radio is just like our APBA weekends except we’re not rolling dice. To be honest, that’s exactly what I had in mind when I conceived the idea for BZR.

When we get together to play APBA, we inevitably get into discussions about baseball whether it be current hot stove action or the playoff race (depending on the time of year) or reminiscing about the “good old days”. Of course, depending who was talking and how old they were, we could be talking about different eras. We were a fount of baseball knowledge, we usually knew what we were talking about and the converstions were sometimes animated.

Regardless, we always talked baseball and that was my inspiration for Baseball Zealot Radio.

Check out this week’s show. We run the gamut of Spring Training topic but focus on Cubs and Sox plus we hit on the Veterans Committee HOF announcement on Tuesday.
