Episode Synopsis

Mark "Xcommish2" DerGarabedian has been a fixture in the APBA modding community for years. He started playing APBA baseball at a friend’s house in Fresno, California, and has stayed hooked since. He's even rolled a few games with his 18-year-old son.   

Whether playing football, baseball or golf, he's always juggling multiple projects of various lengths — and employing a wealth of home-brewed tweaks for playability and realism. At the time of this interview — July 24, 2022 — his projects included:  

• 1981 Forty Niners
• 1982 MLB tournament (in which low seeds were bouncing high seeds with some frequency)
• A Ben Hogan ATG tour
• The 1994 US Open playoff (Els, Roberts, Mongtomery)  

Since then, he's as conceived about a dozen other potential refinements to APBA Football, from a prevent defense chart to key and blitz charts for solo play. He's also a communications chief at Costco, hence the question within the first minute or two.  

Check out some of his work at the Between the Lines forum under his Xcommish2 handle, as well as on various APBA-related Facebook groups.
