East Manager Tedd Mallasch holds MVP Grady Sizemore

East Beats West in All-Star Classic

You could say it was a hard fought battle but that wouldn't really be true. Piloted by Chicago Champion manager Tedd Mallasch, the East really had it won from the get-go in the 2008 IAL All-Star Game.

They scored four runs in the first inning thanks to Chicago Champion Grady Sizemore's three run homerun. The West did score two in the bottom half of the first but the East's Robbie Cano came right back to match it the top half the second with his own homer, this time a two-run shot.

After that, it was pretty much all West's game. Sizemore contributed with an rbi double as part of 3-run fifth inning. The West couldn't contain the powerful offense of the East and could never get anything going of their own.

Grady Sizemore was named All-Star Game MVP for his efforts.

Here is the boxscore for the 2008 All-Star Game.

The Commish has been busy

Mike's put together the list of the eligible rookies for the 2009 rookie draft.

As he does every every year, Mike has put together his APBA predictions for our players. For my money, he's the best at knowing what APBA's formula is.

Finally, Mike's put all the MLB stats in a handy Excel file.

thanks Mike! Now get a life!

just kidding, we couldn't run this league without you ;-)

New IAL Photo Gallery

I've scoured our web for all our photos from past IAL events and organized them in this new online Photo Gallery. Take a look.

I'll be adding more photos as I find them and will add even more for future events.

IAL Online Register Updated

I finally got around to updating the Illowa APBA League Register. For the past 32 years, we have stats for every hitter and pitcher that played in our league. Thanks to Tedd Mallasch and Mike Bunch who have been instrumental in making this possible.

For more IAL history, check out IAL All-Time Leaders, our IAL Hall of Fame and the IAL Season Spotlights (the Season Spotlights is a work in progress.
