Frank Cox to Midland Explorers for 2010

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Midland, MI

As the new year begins, the Explorers are pleased to announced two additions to their roster for the 2010 season.

Outfielder Mark Coleman, formerly of the St Thomas Evergreen Centennials, will be part of the outfield this year. An outstanding performer for the Cents during the ISC and the Canadians for the past few years, Mark brings solid ISC and Senior experience and talent to the team.

Also, the Explorers are thrilled to announce that pitcher Frank Cox will be on the mound for the team in 2010. His accomplishments in the circle are as well known as any pitcher in the past 20 years, and with multiple championships at ISC, ASA and Canadian tournaments, Frank is a proven winner who gives the team big-game experience and success as they host the 2010 ISC.

More news to follow in the upcoming months as the roster and schedule is finalized.

Red Rock Revisited

Monday, December 7th, 2009

In response to requests, Maddy is uploading some of the older galleries to her site. Recent additions include the 2007 Red Rock tournament, posted over the weekend, and noted in her blog:



click photo for her blog post.
click her for direct link to photos.

I’m playing catchup this weekend and so have posted the last set of photos I took at the Red Rock tournament in 2007. As I reviewed the photos for posting it brought back many memories of that field and that tournament. One of my favorite tournament for many reasons: location, players, quality of game, I still miss shooting this tournament two years later. Click here to take you to the gallery of photos for the 2007 Red Rock Tournament and enjoy revisiting one of the greatest tournaments that men’s fastpitch has to offer. Let’s hope we can one day soon return to this beautiful venue.

Editor’s note: It was interesting to look back at those photos, taken early in the 2007 season out west. Three California teams emerged from that tournament to do great things in 2007.

The So Cal Bombers, the California Lumberkings and A-1 Taylor Farms. The Bombers were runners-up in the 2007 ISC World Tournament, while the Lumberkings and Taylor Farms finished 2-3 in the 2007 ISC II Tournament of Champions. (two teams that would combine a year later and win the ISC II T of C)

At Red Rock 2007, the Bombers topped Team Minnesota, 6-4 in the finals, with the Bomber’s Sean Whitten garnering Most Valuable Pitcher honors. Teammate Steve Pinnochio won MVP Honors. Other Bombers named to the All Tournament team included: Darren Box, Adam LaLonde, Chad Ghostkeeper, Nate Devine and Mike Butler.

Fans at Red Rock 2007 also got a chance to see 2009 ISC Hall of Famer Mike Piechnik, who pitched for Portland.

Passing of Dickie Campbell – with memorial service update

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Update fromi Kristen Fine, 11/23/09:

We’ve bumped this one back to the top of the blog, with updated information on the memorial for Dickie Campbell this Friday, November 27, 2009:

Please join friends and family in a celebration of the life of Dick Campbell, Friday, November 27th, at The Beach House,
5003 Tierra del Oro, Carlsbad, CA 92008.

Strong Suggestion: Park on Canon – Parking will be a bear— You know what Dick would say: “So get out of your car! Walk!”

Attire is beach casual. Flips-flops preferred. The celebration begins with a service at 3 p.m.

Reception follows immediately— Appetizers and Beverages. Open Mic—share your anecdotes.

Please forward this email to others who knew Dick. It would mean a lot to us to have you email us your favorite “Dickisms”— stories and adventures to help us hold him close in our memories.

Email to: X (at) fineonline.com

Update from Cary Weiler, 11/19/09:

Memorial Service – Friday, November 27, 2009, 3:00 p.m. @ 5003 Tierra Del Oro St., Carlsbad, CA 92008 – see notes below about casual dress code

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all of your kind words and prayers. The information I have received is that the memorial service will be on Friday Nov. 27th at 3 PM. It will be held at Dickie’s beach house located at 5003 Tierra Del Oro St, Carlsbad, CA 92008. If you are coming off of I-5, you will want to take the Cannon Rd exit and head towards the beach. When you get to Carlsbad Blvd turn right and then your first left will be his street. His house is located on the Pacific Ocean side of the street. It is a cul-de-sac so parking may be at a premium. In true Dick Campbell fashion, the dress code is shorts and flip-flops per his stepson Cody. I do not know how long it will last, but Jan and I will open our house up to an after memorial get together for a few tall tales and maybe a cold one or two. Let me know if you might be interested. Thanks again for caring. – Cary Weiler

I regret to advise of the passing of Dickie Campbell last Friday. We are advised that he had back surgery a little over a week ago. He developed a blood clot on Friday and it got to his lungs and he died on Friday. A memorial at his beach house in San Diego is planned for November 27, 2009. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. We will post more information as it becomes available.

Dickie played for a number of San Diego area teams, including the original Slick Davis led Vista Bombers in the 1970’s, a team that finished 4th in the 1977 ISC World Tournament in Phoenix, Arizona:

Order of Finish
1. Reno (NV) Reno Toyota
2. Long Beach (CA) Nitehawks
3. Oshawa (ON) Tony’s
4. Vista (CA) Bombers

Dickie earned second team ISC All World honors at the 1981 ISC World Tournament at Saginaw, Michigan, hitting .308 for the eighth place Oceanside Bombers.

Campbell was an innovator in the game, one of a trio of players (along with Vista teammates Steve Miner and Jimmy Williams) who changed the game with their “slap” hitting. He was a talented, affable player, well liked by his teammates.
