A heartbreaking day for baseball and the world. A day we all knew was inevitable but dreaded, just the same.

Rest in Peace Willie Mays.

Former APBPA Board Member.

Member #20531.

God speed Willie. The words “Thank you” will never be enough!!

For love of the game,
The entire APBPA membership

Took this picture of some kid at baseball practice today. I don’t know who he is, but I can tell you that sometimes, playing the outfield is a very lonely job.

Now even the APBPA's outside legal counsel, Peter Weinstein, has been libeled and slandered by Jen Madison. Please see his response. Please note sections 10 and 11:

10. While Dr. Weinstein represents the APBPA, he does not represent its members in an individual manner. This includes not representing Kameron Loe, President of the APBPA and Kevin Simmons, a Board member, in any legal matter. So, Defendant’s statement that Dr. Weinstein represents either Kameron Loe or Kevin Simmons is false and untrue.

11. Next, Dr. Weinstein is handling legal matters for the APBPA as a pro bono client and has not been paid any money by the APBPA for his services. Thus, Defendant’s statement that Dr. Weinstein is getting paid with “embezzled APBPA assistance funds” is false, libelous, and defamatory.

The two of the most famous clowns from the first half of the twentieth century, former APBPA Board Member, Nick Altrock, and Al Schacht. After both pitchers suffered injuries that effectively ended their playing careers, they went on to coach for the Senators, where they realized their comedy routine would extend their time in professional baseball. Despite an early and often aggressive dislike of each other, the two decided to work together with a clowning routine, becoming entertainment at every Senators game that fans adored! Their performances included costumes, large gag props, boxing, rowing boats during rain delays, and lots of pantomiming. They were even hired to perform at the World Series in 1922! Their salaries rivaled the great players of the era, including founding APBPA member Babe Ruth, who was one of their biggest fans. They performed together for more than a decade before splitting up in 1934 and continuing on to perform solo. Altrock remained with the Senators as coach and performer until 1957.
