I doubt anyone knows what it is but TLDR version is if you love and follow baseball, prospects, running and managing your own team vs other managers, you could very well be interested in this. It's basically an in depth Fantasy baseball where you manage and run all the functions of your team.
You can also replay season's from like 1942, etc..
There are many different league formats; such as where you are assigned an MLB franchise and you keep a certain amount of prospects that get called up from that teams minors each year and the rest go in a live draft each year.
I'm involved in a 20 team league (35 man rosters) and a 28 team league (I've won back to back World Series's in this league) -
This is my 20 team league (after losing in the World Series last year, I decided to rebuild); and went young. Traded away Wainwright, Iwakuma, Hammel, Jose Reyes, Chase Utley, Jayson Werth)
Draft style ( I love this style to the 20 man league):
All first year carded rookies are made available in one live draft
Each team is allowed to select 1 "Bonus Baby (BB)" in the draft and can be taken in any round (12 rounds) - A BB is one who has not played in the majors. For instance a team drafted Joe Mauer when he was still in High School.
**A team can not have more than 2 Bonus Babies" on their roster at one time. (For instance I have Yoan Moncada and Kyle Zimmer currently as my BB's; if neither one of them pitch in the majors; I could not take a BB in the upcoming draft in January; unless I cut one of them)
Long story short I have by far the worst record in the league this year (see the standings: My team is the Stingrays). I also have 2 firsts and 2 2nd rd picks in the upcoming draft in January.



If you have questions or are actually interested in learning more; feel free to PM me. Also google "APBA Baseball" and there's forums and just general discussions about baseball, and other sports.
It's actually pretty cool to be apart of.
