It has become a model League for APBA players throughout the country and has proudly served as the premier APBA Baseball League in New York. Little did they realize at the time this League would be maintained and grow to prosper for over three decades. They chose the name “O.Z.” because 5 of the original 6 members lived in Ozone Park, Queens.

Joined by Dom’s brother John Dom’s cousin Howard Felson and a friend named Tony Tisi these six men formed the genesis of this APBA Baseball League. They are both very enjoyable, and which one is preferred is just a matter of taste.Īs always, anyone who wants a copy of the DVAL boards, just email me: moore315 AT comcast DOT net.Dom Provisiero, Tommy Sims, and Dennis Monroe created the O.Z. It's like the difference between a great steak or a great Italian dinner (Dom - I'll let your boards be the Italian dinner in my analogy!).

Dom - forgive me (and correct me) if that's not accurate.īoth are great options if you want a hybrid somewhere between the BG and MG. You could also say that for the DVAL boards we took the BG and added MG fielding and MG pitching grades while for the Marino boards they started with the MG and removed the stuff they didn't want to use. Some may argue about the percentages but you get the gist. The easiest way to describe the difference between the two hybrid boards (and I'm sure there are many others) is that if the BG is at one end of the complexity spectrum and the full MG is at the other end, my DVAL boards are maybe about 40% of the way across, closer to the BG end and the Marino boards are maybe 70% of the way across the spectrum, getting closer to the MG end. I saw Dom at the convention and he and I were laughing about how when anybody posts a question about the basic game being a little too simple or the master game a little too complicated, he and I have a race to post an offer to provide the DVAL boards (mine) or Marino boards (Dom's).

Dom Provisiero will no doubt respond to this post soon and I'm sure he will gladly send you the Paul Marino boards.
