Fastpitch Here?
Friday, June 16th, 2006Note from Al Doran
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006A few people have asked why we no longer send out so many news items by email. Well the primary reason is that it takes too long, each message takes up to 40 minutes to go to the full list.
But another good reason is that many of our subscribers now automatically go to our news site to get the news. http://www.alsfastball.com/ has all the latest news and on any given morning this time of year there are 3 or 4 stories posted by teams, fans, etc. for all to read.
Our backup site at FastpitchWest also has most of the same news
NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball
but sometimes it takes minutes or hours for that site to post what I send them.
We will continue to try and send as many major stories as we can to the full list but we strongly encourage everyone to check the NEWS sites daily:
