Monkton – World Fastball Invitational 2011

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Monkton is back !

From Monkton tournament director Brian Ballie:

A big hello to fastpitch fans around the globe.

I thought I’d write to not only say hi, but to inform the world that we are in the midst of getting our thoughts together for the tournament many call the “Crown Jewell” of them all – the 2011 edition of the World Fastball Invitational in Monkton.

I’ve not been to many ballparks this summer due to personal/professional committments, however I am making a last ditch effort to be in Midland next week and I’m sure most of my days will be hello’s, chats, and many questions – which I welcome.

June 30 – July 3 2011 – the traditional Monkton July 1 weekend – mark it on your calendars!

I will keep you all posted as always here on Al’s.

Also – I have a new contact email (prev one was hacked it seems)

use: aceman012 (at) hotmail.com

For everyone who has my old email, please replace with this one.

Thanks, and we’ll see you at the park!

Brian Baillie – Chairman
World Fastball Invitational

Ballparkradio transmitirá el ISC World Tournament en Español

Monday, August 9th, 2010

For our Spanish speaking friends:




Ballparkradio transmitirá el ISC World Tournament en Español

Ballparkradio se complace en anunciar su primera transmisión de un juego de softbol masculino en idioma español, el próximo martes 17 de agosto, con un juego del 2010 ISC World Tournament.

La transmisión será en colaboración con Softbol Radio, sitio web que opera desde Argentina, a cargo del jugador de softbol Cristian Lacout.

La emisión de estos partidos se originará en Argentina, pero los oyentes de todo el mundo podrán conectarse a través de la página web de Ballparkradio, que alojará la transmisión y el streaming. Los oyentes encontrarán un botón en castellano para escuchar los partidos en vivo.

“Conocimos a Cristian y a Softbol Radio a través de Martin Jorge, el webmaster de Softbol News LA, y hemos estado discutiendo la posibilidad de realizar esta transmisión por más de un año” cuenta entusiasmado Jim Flanagan, Editor de Fastpitchwest y responsable de Ballparkradio. “Toda esa planificación está dando sus frutos, con una serie de pruebas exitosas realizadas en los últimos meses”.

“Cuando Kyle Smith y yo transmitimos el Mundial Juvenil ISF del 2008 en Whitehorse, tuvimos oyentes de Argentina y otros países de América Latina, aunque obviamente limitado a los oyentes que hablaban Inglés”, agrega Flanagan. “De hecho tuvimos un oyente bilingüe de Argentina que abrió una sala de chat durante el juego Argentina-Nueva Zelanda, y realizaba una traducción de nuestro relato del juego, para que los fans que no hablaban Inglés pudieran seguir el partido”.

“Me llamó la atención la gran cantidad de aficionados que siguen a sus equipos, y me prometí que iba a trabajar para ofrecer alguna transmisión para los fanáticos y equipos que no hablan inglés”.

Hay un interés enorme en el softbol en países de habla hispana, entre ellos Argentina, Venezuela y México (tres países con presencia en el mencionado Mundial Juvenil del 2008). Argentina se ha convertido en una cantera de talentos para Norteamérica, con jugadores como Lucas Mata, Sebastián Gervasutti, Sisko Sabaté, Juan Potolicchio, Matías Tessore, Bruno Motroni, y también jóvenes como Guido Silbert entre otros.

Por su parte, Venezuela ha enviado un gran contingente de equipos al torneo de la AAU en Orlando, con equipos muy competitivos como Los Socios, que ganó el torneo en dos ocasiones. El año pasado, el Himno Nacional de República Dominicana se escuchó en el Torneo Mundial de la ISC, con la asistencia del equipo de Dominica al evento. Este año ha recibido un gran interés el Peligro Sports Tournament en Nueva York, que recibió un gran número de jugadores de habla hispana, muchos de ellos de República Dominicana.

“Me alegro de que, en colaboración con Cristian Lacout y Softbol Radio, seamos capaces de hacer realidad este sueño, y abrir la ventana del softbol a un público más amplio”, concluyó Jim.

En breve se publicará el calendario de partidos que serán transmitidos en español, aunque se puede adelantar que se buscará transmitir los partidos con participación de jugadores y equipos latinos.

NS settles for silver at Canadian Junior Championship – Napanee Express take gold

Monday, August 9th, 2010

N.S. team settles for silver

Napanee downs Murphy’s in Canadian junior fast-pitch final

By MONTY MOSHER Sports Reporter

The Murphy’s Fish and Chips Eagles will have to content themselves with a silver medal for a second straight year.

The Nova Scotia representatives dug an early hole in a 6-1 loss to the Napanee (Ont.) Express in Sunday’s Canadian junior men’s fast-pitch final before an estimated 3,000 fans in St. Croix, Hants County.

Napanee had to win twice Sunday and took care of business 5-1 in a morning semifinal against the Owen Sound Selects.

Joran Graham pitched the win, his second complete-game victory of the day. Nova Scotia helped him by leaving 10 runners on base.

Graham allowed six hits and fanned seven.

The Eagles were disconsolate. They dragged their feet to a post-game photo shoot and drifted back to their dugout afterwards in a silent stupor.

First Ever Spanish Language Broadcast on Ballparkradio – Aug 17, 2010

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Primera transmisión en español de un cotejo del ISC Men’s World Fastball Tournament, en Ballparkradio.



Ballparkradio is pleased to announce its first ever Spanish language broadcast of a men’s fastball game, Tuesday, August 17, 2010, at 5pm EDT from the 2010 ISC World Tournament.

The broadcast is a collaboration with “Softbol Radio“, an Argentina based website operation run by fastball player Cristian Lacout.

The broadcast will originate from Argentina, but connect listeners worldwide via the Ballparkradio website, which will host and stream the broadcast. Listeners will find find a Click to Listen button en Espanol:

We were introduced to Softbol Radio’s Cristian Lacout by Martin Jorge, the webmaster for Softball News LA (Latin America), and have been discussing the possibility for more than a year, with the planning coming to fruition in the past month or two, with successful tests of the stream from Argentina.

When Kyle Smith and I broadcast the 2008 ISF Jr. World Championships from Whitehorse, we had listeners in Argentina and other countries in Latin America, though obviously limited to extent that the listeners spoke English. We actually had one bilingual listener in Argentina who opened a chat room during the Argentina-New Zealand game, and was typing a translation of our call of the game, so the non-English speaking fans could follow along. I was struck by the great lengths that fans would go to, to follow their teams, and promised myself that I would work on a way to provide some broadcasts for non-English speaking teams and fans.

There is tremendous interest in the game of fastball in Spanish speaking countries, including Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico (three countries which sent teams to the 2008 ISF Jr. Worlds). Argentina has become a pipeline of talent to North America, with the likes of Lucas Mata, Sebastian Gervasutti, Sisko Sabate, Juan Potliccio, Matias Tessore, Bruno Motroni, and youngsters like Guido Silbert.

Venezuela has been sending a large contingent of teams to the AAU International tournament in Orlando every year, as long as I have been going, with very competitive teams like Los Socios, who won the tournament twice. Last year, the Dominican Republic National anthem was heard at the ISC World Tournament with the Dominica team in attendance. This year saw great interest in the Peligro Sports Tournament in New York, which hosted a large number of Spanish speaking players, many from the Dominican Republic.

So I am delighted that in collaboration with Cristian Lacout’s Softbol Radio, we will be able to make the “pipe dream” a reality, and open the window on the game to a wider audience.
