At least we got baseball and Teliqua, and a few other conveniences in life, and we got ballparks shifting in the wind. Louisville’s moving the fences out to make their park a little less little league, right? But they can’t wash the bush league stank off that place with a fire hose. And Calgary’s going the other way with their dimensions. And we got baseball out in the Middle East doing its thing. Sure, it comes with dog and lemur problems, but you get what you take, or something like that. And the Commish, let’s just say he’s still got a few hairs left in his head, but it’s not for all our trying. The kids may be all right, but in the end they’s still kids. At heart, anyway. And that’s the thing about the BBA. Some may think we’re just being childish, might see this all as simply fake baseball. But we know better. We know there ain’t nothing fake going down around here. So, yeah, it’s a hard rain, and change is gonna come. We get it. Reach for the stars, fall on a cloud. That’s how it goes, am I right?

(Fun, Math, and Competition in the BBA) Page 4 2039 State of The Brewster From the Office of the Commissioner, Matt Rectenwald When we started the (then) Monty Brewster Baseball Association way back in December of 2001 nary a soul in the original twenty four souls had any inkling that this league would not only still exist in 2019, eighteen “real-life” years later, but would be a thriving league with thirty teams (soon to be thirty two), an eight-team independent league, five college and high school feeder leagues, a fall prospect league, and a semi-recurring World Cup tournament. Yet here we are. Sixty-seven years of history are in the books. We’ve been featured among the Out of The Park Baseball Community both in print and over podcast. The (now) Brewster Baseball Association universe is an active, thriving community. Page 5 Our Thriving Community This community is about as active as one can be, and of course we in the BBA never make claims without proof! Here’s the Final Participation Point recap from 2038 by League Director Ron Collins: * * * * * Here is the Final 2038 PPT Tracker update. By pretty much any measure of participation, 2038 was a fantastic season for the league. We've had some great debates, and (perhaps at time unfortunately?) some passionate commentary. Along the way we've learned a ton, and maybe even changed how we're playing this little game of ours. We've brought in some outstanding OOTP talent this year, and staffed up the UMEBA while cycling some of that great talent into the BBA itself. Of course I track points for the league, and as such I can put numbers on things. Those numbers look pretty danged good. For the newbies: I track two sets of numbers, one with me and one without. If you've been around awhile, you know I work on volume [grin], and I came in during the 2024 seasons, so to get a feel for where we are historically, I need to take myself out of the equation. Also, since we have had variable numbers of teams per season, I convert our raw totals to average per team. There are some problems related to what happens when we have GMs rotate in mid-season, but the numbers are still at least directionally sound. Here are the numbers from 2038: Team averages (with YS9): • PPT/Team = 73.3 (vs. Lg Avg = 46.5) • Posts/Team = 225.6 (Lg. Avg = 140.5) • TN/Team = 19.6 (Lg. Avg = 11.9) Team averages (without YS9): • PPT/Team = 60.2 (vs. Lg Avg = 43.2) #3 all-time • Posts/Team = 179.2 (Lg. Avg = 133.3) #4 all-time • TN/Team = 15.7 (Lg. Avg = 10.9) #3 all-time In other words, even while rotating two GMs out and a third into the UMEBA, we've had a season that puts us in the top three or four of all time. So, yeah, outstanding numbers, and when looked at in context of time, the league is maintaining itself and even perhaps growing well. As noted above, these numbers count only BBA GMs at present, so the reality is that our "true" raw numbers are a little better. I should note they also represent only the BBA, not the UMEBA. Now that we have a fuller slate of UMEBA only GMS, I'll begin tracking them in this fashion for 2039. Page 6 Here are the silly but kind fun charts: Our Independent League, The UMEBA Last season we launched a new Independent League, the Unified Middle Eastern Baseball Association (UMEBA). This eight team league is emerging as we expected with some great new applicants coming into the league, in fact three of them have already graduated to the BBA! Here’s the original announcement of the UMEBA: BBA Player Turned President Achieves Peace In Middle East, New League Is Born If you were a casual BBA fan in the late 2000's and early 2010's, you probably didn't know who Bernard Addison "Barney" Bancroft was. After all, he was just a borderline bench infielder who played in just 357 BBA games for Valencia, Madison and Omaha. "My baseball career wasn't much to speak of," said Bancroft. "I loved the game, though, and I wouldn't trade those years for anything." Bancroft was a smart player, who knew his role. "Mr. Wilson once referred to me as the resident defensive replacement," laughed Bancroft. "I could live with that, honestly. I was happy to be in the big leagues, playing with the likes of Charles Puckett and Bopper Kengos. Clearly I wasn't going to beat those guys out!" Bancroft also was once the #1 overall pick in a Rule 5 Draft. Hawaii chose him in the 2004 Rule 5 Draft, looking again at his defense. "That was the kick I really needed in life," admitted Bancroft. "No one had really talked to me about my drive before, I had been doing well enough just cruising by. Sakata really changed my life, made me see the bigger picture in baseball and beyond." The plan for Bancroft to be the Tropics starting shortstop didn't work out as he started just 32 games and batted .210 in the 2004 season, which would prove to be his only year in Hawaii. Page 7 The Valencia Stars would be his next stop, and he would be "Bancroft shows superior skills at shortstop with them from 2006-2011. In the early part of the 2011 and sports a gun of an arm.

I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Praise for Joy at Work
    praise for Joy at Work “Joy at Work is a remarkable book about a remarkable company told by a remarkable man. For almost 20 years, AES defied most con- ventional management wisdom as it built a culture in which peo- ple were treated as adults, leaders were truly servant leaders, and fun was a core value that became actualized in the day-to-day lives of AES people, not something just hung on the wall to be talked about. The lessons of this journey are captured by Dennis Bakke in a brilliantly written, frank, and honest account of the ups and the downs. In a world in which fear often seems to have replaced fun, the search for profits has replaced the pursuit of purpose; confor- mity and following the crowd have replaced the courage to do the right thing and live by principles; and widespread corruption has replaced the conviction of ideals, this book offers both the recipe for a better way of organizing and being in an organization and the inspiration to try. Never has a book such as this been more needed, more important, or more welcome.” — Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor of organizational behavior, Stanford Graduate School of Business “The idea of creating a workplace in which everyone maximizes his or her God-given potential and serves the community is a strong biblical principle. This book provides valuable ideas for leaders who wish to build or strengthen organizations using sound spiri- tual principles: service, integrity, and social responsibility. Dennis Bakke knows firsthand what it is to put these truths to work.” — Chuck Colson, founder, Prison Fellowship Ministries “All leaders—and aspiring leaders—should read this provocative book.
