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.

  • Baseball and Beesuboru
    AMERICAN BASEBALL IMPERIALISM, CLASHING NATIONAL CULTURES, AND THE FUTURE OF SAMURAI BESUBORU PETER C. BJARKMAN El béisbol is the Monroe Doctrine turned into a lineup card, a remembrance of past invasions. – John Krich from El Béisbol: Travels Through the Pan-American Pastime (1989) When baseball (the spectacle) is seen restrictively as American baseball, and then when American baseball is seen narrowly as Major League Baseball (MLB), two disparate views will tend to appear. In one case, fans happily accept league expansion, soaring attendance figures, even exciting home run races as evidence that all is well in this best of all possible baseball worlds. In the other case, the same evidence can be seen as mirroring the desperate last flailing of a dying institution – or at least one on the edge of losing any recognizable character as the great American national pastime. Big league baseball’s modern-era television spectacle – featuring overpaid celebrity athletes, rock-concert stadium atmosphere, and the recent plague of steroid abuse – has labored at attracting a new free-spending generation of fans enticed more by notoriety than aesthetics, and consequently it has also succeeded in driving out older generations of devotees once attracted by the sport’s unique pastoral simplicities. Anyone assessing the business health and pop-culture status of the North American version of professional baseball must pay careful attention to the fact that better than forty percent of today’s big league rosters are now filled with athletes who claim their birthright as well as their baseball training or heritage outside of the United States.

  • One on One with Doug Decinces
    INSIDE THE GAME: THE TWELVE ELEMENTS OF PEAK PERFORMANCE Chapter 3 DOUG DECINCES Doug DeCinces was kind enough to grant me an interview at his office in Strawberry Farms Golf Course. Mr. DeCinces now runs a successful real estate firm and developed the Strawberry Farm Course. He had a very successful career in Major League Baseball. He played for the Baltimore Orioles form 1973 to 1981 and was then traded to the California Angels, with whom he played until 1987. Mr. DeCinces was a right handed infielder who played third base. He was born and raised in Southern California and played Little League baseball in the San Fernando Valley. Over his fifteen year career, he hit 237 home runs, played in the 1979 World Series in which he hit a home run in his first at bat, played on the 1983 All Star Team, and was elected to the Angels All Time Team in 2000. During his successful career he achieved the AL Silver slugger Award in1982, hit, 20+ Home Runs in the the 1978, 1982, 1984, 1985 & 1986 Seasons, and hit 30-Home Runs1982.
