Darrell’s friendly manner is evident with the first firm handshake and smile. Upon meeting Darrell for the first time, I knew this was the same Darrell Skogen who had his various replays published in the APBAlone column in the APBA Journal back in the 1970’s/1980’s.
Back in 2013, 6 of us APBA devotees (Bruce Tyler, Leroy Arnoldi, Neil Ess, Darrell Skogen, Kevin Cluff and myself) met for lunch for the first time at O’Gara’s in St. I came to know Darrell Skogen through the Twin Cities APBA Baseball Tournament group.
In my 6th “Jim’s APBA Barn” blog interview, I am finding it is hard to not find something remarkable about the people involved with APBA, with a variety of different backgrounds. (TCABT-I, Darrell on right, sizes up his opposition)
1998 Braves – Steve Ryan (Harrison, TN). 1962 Giants – Danny Skillings (Edina, MN). 1985 Cardinals – Roy Langhans (Cockeysville, MD). 1966 Astros – George Adams (Kansas City, MO). 1933 Pirates – Jeff Boeding (Platte City, MO). 1930 Cardinals – Bruce Tyler (Elk River, MN). 1977 Phillies – Leroy Arnoldi (Prior Lake, MN). 2008 Cubs – Pat Martin (Brooklyn Park, MN). 1930 Senators – Jim Fraasch (Savage, MN). 1988 Twins – Eric Berg (Jacksonville, IL). 1981 Expos – Craig Christian (Eau Claire, WI). 2015 Dodgers – Dan Walker (Woodbury, MN). 2010 Twins – Kevin Cluff (Apple Valley, MN). 1953 Dodgers – Fred Johnson (Cottage Grove, MN). 2001 Mariners – Phil Geraffo (Minnetonka, MN). 2014 Orioles – Darrell Skogen (Maple Grove, MN). 1990 Athletics – Beau Lofgren (Hawley, MN). 1995 Indians – Ben Lofgren (Hawley, MN). 1939 Yankees – Paul Van Beek (Winona, MN). 1948 Indians – Dave Norlander (Bloomington, MN). 1911 Giants – Gary Borthwick (Crystal, MN). 1946 Red Sox – Chris Shores (Minneapolis, MN). Also, any person on the waiting list would be asked to enter the tournament if their is a late drop-out. Once we get beyond 32, we will have a waiting list, with the possibility of expanding the tournament to 36 teams. When – Saturday, October 1st, 2016 (dice rolling to begin around 8:30am)Īs team selections start to filter in on Saturday AM, July 2nd (after midnight), I will update this post with the entrants and their selections.
