Jimsapbabarn question #1: Tell Us About Yourself, Outside Of APBA.

Onto the interview, with George Adams, of Kansas City, MO … (L to R: Randy Coryer, Pete Stevens with George Adams, visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown) You will discover as your read on about George Adams, the man is an artist underneath that “Marlboro Man” exterior … 😉 The Met Stadium completed left-field double-deck seats in 1965, which are a main feature in the Met Stadium creation by George Adams.Įach of the ballparks which George builds are really pieces of art. The actual Met Stadium scoreboard during the 1965 World Series vs the LA Dodgers.Ī full view of the Metropolitan Stadium scoreboard, before 1965, varying advertising. George informed me this was his first attempt at duplicating an actual scoreboard. The scoreboard with Longines clock and “Twins O Gram”, as it looked in 1965. George Adams’ first Metropolitan Stadium build, proudly sits in my basement office. Paul, Minnesota, from 1956 to 1981 (after the Twins and Vikings final games there in 1981, it was razed 4 years later in 1985). Not surprisingly, George previously had never received a request to build the old Metropolitan Stadium which graced the Bloomington, MN suburb just south of Minneapolis and St. George attended TCABT-IV in October of 2015, delivering a hand-crafted Metropolitan Stadium, circa 1965. I know first hand, the quality work George Adams is capable of, because I purchased one of his ballparks in October of 2015. This means the ballpark will not take up much desk space as you are able to roll your dice onto the felt surface field, and still have room for your game booklet, cards and scoresheet. His standard size ballpark sits on a base which is just 15″ by 15″. These are not “exact” replica ballparks, but rather, ballparks designed to give the gamer a quality experience, without taking up too much space on the table-top, and without taking too much out of the customers wallet. He has is own unique style, which give his ballparks the “signature” of being his design. His ballparks have been featured in a few different blog posts over these last 5+ years, even including a writeup at “The APBA Football Club” site.

I first came across George Adams and his wonderful creations from a message posted on the Delphi APBA Between The Lines forum about ballpark building several years ago.

His ballparks smack of creative, yet simple playability, while highlighting key features of the ballpark they are modeled after, to give the gamer the true essence of their favorite ball yard. George Adams, model ballpark builder guru, has become known in the table-top baseball gamer’s world through his nifty ballpark creations.
