Frequently Asked Questions

This is a brand new website for APBPA. The old site was not on the same platform and we couldn’t import users from the old to the new website. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you are a current member, and have paid dues for 2019, and would like to register with the website, click the “join” button in the main menu and use promo code APBPA2019. This will make it only $1 to register.

If you are a former member and would like to re-join us, or if you are a life member and would like to register with the website, please enter your member number during the signup process (click the “Join” button in the main menu).

If you would like to catch up on past dues, you can contact us at info@apbpa.org

As of 2019, we have transitioned to digital membership cards. You can find yours here (you must be logged into the site). MEMBERSHIP CARD

Doing this has saved us nearly 40% of our annual budget. Now we can spend more of our resources on helping ballplayers.

If you would like to have a physical card, you can order one here. ORDER PHYSICAL MEMBERSHIP CARD

Anyone who has served as a player, manager, umpire, scout, trainer, “clubby”, scorekeeper, or front office personnel for any affiliated professional baseball club or independent league organization in the United States — basically, if you have ever been employed by a professional baseball team in the United States, you are eligible for membership.

We also offer “Honorary”memberships to anyone that would like to support the brotherhood of professional ballplayers. Honorary may take part in benefits (discounts with our partners) but not services (financial, counseling, or disaster recovery support) listed on the website.

We encourage our Life Members to contribute an annual donation to support our mission of ballplayers helping ballplayers.
