The on-going day-to-day moderation of the APBA Between the Lines forum is handled flawlessly by Kevin. Kevin has been invaluable in his help with the annual APBA Baseball Season Disk which comes out each December, going back to 2001. Kevin is one of 29 APBA Hall of Famers, nominated and elected based on their contributions to APBA and the APBA Community.

Longtime APBA players, historians and employees would all consider Kevin a true friend. Kevin is in good company, when it comes to a who’s who of APBA. It is an example of his passion for baseball, which translates directly into his love for APBA Baseball. This is die-hard baseball fan knowledge which does not come from just reading in a box score or a game write-up. An example of Kevin’s baseball passion is that he will never hesitate to comment on current Minnesota Twins player personnel, management, scouting, etc, his thoughts and opinions cover the gamut. Kevin’s knowledge of APBA Baseball, the card sets, the data disks for BBW, and his all-around baseball knowledge are encyclopedic in nature. I’ve gotten to know Kevin personally over the last few years, since the Twin Cities APBA Baseball Tournament “committee” (pictured below, clockwise from Kevin standing, Bruce Tyler, Leroy Arnoldi, Darrell Skogen and myself) formed the semiannual regional tournament. As the BTL Forum host since 2012, the firm yet friendly nature Kevin has, is exactly what was needed to maintain a sense of community and sportsmanship among the regular visitors. APBA Convention attendees know Kevin as a regular guest over the last 15 years, as well as a very deserving member of the APBA Hall of Fame.

APBA Journal readers from the last few years of the Journal (1999-2001) read his Computer Corner column. The ever humble host and moderator, Kevin Cluff, of the APBA Between The Lines forum on Delphi ( ), has become a regular household name among those who play APBA and Baseball for Windows.
