"steroid" dice cups should be banned. only APBA official yellow dice cups should be regulation.

and for those of us who are unsure when to call for the steal, well, even that is built into the game!

I can actually enjoy APBA, for it is much like listening to a game on the radio - it stimulates the mind.

I have recently learned that APBA will be relocating from Lancaster, PA, to the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta. I hate to see the company move, but if it has to be done, I will understand.

i had stated in a previous comment that it was a JOKE. also, CONGRATULATIONS on Your success and may You win many more Championships! i have given away many games to others in introducing them to APBA. also, is Master Game used in this tournament or is it Basic Game? i am now 59 years of age and my wife has MS, so we have to pick and choose our activities depending upon health.i play APBA as she plays PC solitaire. i have a custom made park and custom made scoresheets.

it was a JOKE! it was a take off on the 'steroids era'. i have been an APBA player since 1980 and play solitaire(APBA is the best baseball simulation for solitaire play). i probably could have stated that 'corked' dice cups were being used as a JOKE. it was just a JOKE nad one that i thought the APBA community would get. i always ordered a new game every year(and still order new cards and stay updated on charts) and have quite a collection of yellow dice shakers & a few clear ones.

@sayeretmatkai17021 whats up this Brian Wells, from the video.

my dice cup was hand designed for me in 2002 for being the youngest contestant in the tournament.

i dunno if you were taking a shot at it or just trying to make a joke.
