It’s TCBA’s 50^th anniversary!!! 1974-2024; and the story continues…

Frank Tedeschi - With the (recent) switch of the Evanston franchise going to Pittsburgh, in 2024 we will be adjusting our teams by division slightly.  This will be known as the “Sajdak sibling rivalry tweak”.  This will allow Ken and Jeff to battle each other twice a year going forward.  As a result, Grand Rapids will be moving to the Central division and the Pittsburgh Alleghenies will move over to the Atlantic.

Here is a family photo of the older brother Ken treating young Jeff not so nicely….

Jeff needs a few more chances to even the score….

Jeff Sajdak - The Chicks are prepared to take on the Freemen…

…and it might get ugly.

Ken Sajdak - Actual photo of the last time Jeff tried to play with the big boys!

Jeff Sajdak - See how mean my brother is!

Editor – TCBA family member Dick Gorney passed away on December 11, 2023 at age 85.

Bob Braun – Prior to the start of the 2024 season, JR Richardson chooses family over TCBA Today and steps away from his Rochester franchise. Happily (for the rest of us), JR will continue to mentor his Turin Mountaineers in TCBA Origins.

Frank Tedeschi - I am pleased to introduce Phil Silverman, who has accepted the responsibility to take over the recently vacated Rochester Cheetah franchise.  The new team’s name will be the New Guinea Pigs.

Philip has 15 years of APBA league experience and is looking to get back into a league after his previous one folded during the pandemic.  He is a self-proclaimed active trader that enjoys making player swaps.  Let’s give him a week’s time to better understand TCBA Today player values before we approach him with any trade ideas.

Professionally, he is the Director of Coaching for SOCA, a youth soccer club in Virginia.  Philip lives in Charlottsville, VA with his bride of 28 years.  His wife allows him to indulge in some harmless hobbies like the TCBA.  He has two children, one that attends McGill University in Montreal and the other just entering high school.  His favorite team is the Cubs, and his favorite player of all time is Ryne Sandberg. Philip is looking forward to participating in the drafts with us in Harrisburg this March.  Please give Philip a warm TCBA welcome!

Frank Tedeschi - …TCBA news regarding off days during the playoffs going forward.  The vote was about as close as it could be.  The vote tally was 11-10 (with 3 abstentions) for the option that after all seven-game series rounds the subsequent round always begins on day 8 regardless of the outcome of the previous round’s play.  So, there you have it.  We can all plan on getting those days of rest if our teams are fortunate enough to win a series in less than 7 games, starting next year.  Plan accordingly.
