It's hard to comprehend the magnitude of that number, really. The Brewster Baseball Association has been through so much over the years. It all started way, way back in the late 1980's, when my friend Brad Browne and I were inventing baseball leagues of our own. We used Baseball Stars, then Hardball, and then Earl Weaver Baseball came out. My life has never been the same since. Weaver was amazing for its time, as bug riddled as it was. We made our own four-team league, then added more and more teams until we had a nice little league going in tiny Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. When Front Page Sports: Baseball Pro was released, we took a look at it and liked what we saw. Our resulting league would be called the Wisconsin Computer Baseball Association (WCBA). To use the phrase “Timing Is Everything” would be an understatement, because right at this time came the advent of the internet. Suddenly we could interact with other like-minded baseball nuts around the world. It started in the Hardball chat room, then later moved to ICQ, then AIM. The WCBA was too small minded. The North American Computer Baseball Association (NACBA) was formed, which ultimately grew into the Global Baseball Consortium (GBC). This is circa 1994, folks. There are still people around from those times. Sean Marko is still with us. Chris Wilson is still with us. So is Lee Honigsfeld. You may not know that it was Lee who first made me aware of Out of the Park Baseball. At this time, it was OOTP2 and extremely rudimentary, but the potential of this project and the direction the developer (Markus Heinsohn) wanted to go with the game was absolutely in-line with everything that the previous games couldn't give us. So, after experimenting with a short-lived league with all new players, I decided to embark upon the project of a lifetime. I knew I wanted to use OOTP moving forward, but I also knew I wanted the players that we had brought to life with the GBC. This is how the Monty Brewster Baseball Association began. It began with months of creating players, one by one, from the GBC into the MBBA and OOTP. This process would come to be known "Recte- hacking". We started with twenty-four teams and immediately it felt special. Like many fledgling leagues, we had our fair share of turnover among the General Managers, but I also had an amazing team who helped shape the league. Joel Odenbach, Travis McDermott, Brian Miller and so many more made contributions to the Brewster so meaningful that any measure of them would feel too small. Starting with the 1973 season and finishing thru the 1994 season, I felt it was just time to take a break. After the 1994 season we put the MBBA to rest, with new leagues springing up among us BREWSTER BASEBALL ASSOCIATION – MEDIA GUIDE 2042 – Page 5 fighting for the time that many GM's had previously given to the MBBA. It was the end of the “Original Era.” I could never get the MBBA out of my head. I'd still find myself thinking about it after a couple of real-life years had gone by. The league I was currently competing in was amazing in terms of competition and activity, but to me it was becoming too much fluff and too little actual baseball. Once again, I decided to embark on a project. The first order of business was to find the 1994 final file. Once I found it, I quickly realized that I could not for the life of me remember the Commissioner password. This is usually the death knoll for a league. It's a good thing that I have friends in high places, as with a little help from Joel and friends we were able to convince Markus Heinsohn to unlock the Commissioner password for me. And away we went. Right away the 1995 season began – the start of the “Modern Era” – and it was like old times. The activity level was good, the competition was good. We talked ball and played ball. The magic was back. Looking back at the 1995 season, it was a completely different time. There were still just twenty- four teams. We've since expanded multiple times and now have thirty-two BBA teams. That’s right, we also shortened from Monty Brewster World Baseball Association to simply the Brewster Baseball Association. We have had two international leagues, the European Baseball Alliance (EBA) and now the United Middle Eastern Baseball Association (UMEBA). The UMEBA just expanded to ten teams. We have feeder leagues that generate our young prospects. The biggest change has come in the way we communicate. This has always been a forum-based league with a heavy, HEAVY emphasis on writing. It still is, but new ways of communicating have made the league even better. Podcasts and Slack have been an amazing addition to our community. Our Governing Board is as solid as they come. We have had incredible stability on the Governing Board over the past ten seasons and now for 2042, we are adding Joe Lederer to help grow the UMEBA. It is a very good time in the Brewster Baseball Association as we enter our 70th season. Here's to 70 more! BLAST FROM THE PAST! MBWBA 15th Anniversary Team.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay. Heck, even Buster Posey played shortstop in college. No wonder the Giants’ top hitting prospect is a shortstop. Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future. It’s not unrealistic to imagine Arroyo playing third on Opening Day in 2018, so long as he continues to excel on the fast track. 1 “For me, they stressed the value of versatility,” Arroyo said at his Scottsdale Stadium locker. “Staying versatile is going to be huge.” Arroyo was the Giants’ top draft pick in 2013 — he was salutatorian at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla. — and he signed after turning down a scholarship from Florida, where he would have studied architectural engineering. He’s plenty smart enough to realize his ticket to the big leagues might not be at his No.

  • A's News Clips, Thursday, September 3, 2009 A's Powell Having A
    A’s News Clips, Thursday, September 3, 2009 A's Powell having a blast By Joe Stiglich, OAKLAND TRIBUNE Landon Powell knows he needs to squeeze the most out of whatever playing time he gets. Perhaps that explains the production the A's are getting from their backup catcher. Powell delivered his first career grand slam to highlight the A's offensive flurry in a 10-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday afternoon before a crowd of 13,920 at the Oakland Coliseum. That gives the rookie switch hitter 27 RBI in the first 36 games of his career. Only Ben Grieve, who drove in 30 through his first 36 games (bridging the 1997 and 1998 seasons), had more RBI over his first 36 games in Oakland history. Playing behind starter Kurt Suzuki, who leads American League catchers in innings caught, Powell had just 106 at-bats entering Wednesday. But he's hitting .340 (16-for-47) with runners on base and .393 (11-for-28) with men in scoring position. "It seems he's hitting .500," said winning pitcher Trevor Cahill. "It seems like whenever there's a situation, he gets a hit. You see he's hitting .250 (actually .255), and you say 'No way.' It always seems like he gets a couple of hits." Just a night earlier, there appeared to be an invisible barrier preventing A's base runners from crossing home plate, as they stranded 11 and lost 4-3. On Wednesday, the A's couldn't make contact in the early innings without the ball finding a hole.

    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 21, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox will pay full-time employees through May Peter Abraham The Red Sox informed full-time employees Monday that their salaries are guaranteed through at least May 31. The decision was made after Major League Baseball informed teams that commissioner Rob Manfred will suspend uniform employee contracts as of May 1. That gives teams the option to furlough baseball operations employees or cut their salaries because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That includes major- and minor-league managers, coaches, scouts, trainers, and other staff members, about 9,000 in people in all across baseball. “Our clubs rely heavily on revenue from tickets/concessions, broadcasting/media, licensing, and sponsorships to pay salaries,” Manfred wrote in an e-mail to teams, a copy of which was obtained by the Associated Press. “In the absence of games, these revenue streams will be lost or substantially reduced, and clubs will not have sufficient funds to meet their financial obligations.” The Red Sox have declined that option for at least the next six weeks. Based on the team’s 2020 media guide, the Sox have approximately 400 full-time employees, including baseball operations. Various outlets have reported that the Astros, Blue Jays, Braves, Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Giants, Mariners, Marlins, Phillies, Reds, Rockies, Royals, Tigers, Twins, and White Sox also will continue to pay at least their baseball operations employees. Most of the others are expected to make that commitment in the coming days. Some small-market teams could resort to cost-cutting measures as baseball, like so many other businesses, deals with a lack of revenue due to the game being shut down.
