We are working with our tech people on some website updates and repairs at Fastpitchwest and Ballparkradio. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case of any downtime for the sites. Not to worry if that happens, we’ll be back soon.
Remember, we do have a temporary site for the times when Fastpitchwest and/or Ballparkradio are down for any appreciable length of time. Click here for the temp site and then Control-D to bookmark it for future reference (since this blog goes down when the regular site goes down).
If you’re looking for the Red Rock photos, they are coming, but we are holding off on uploading so as to not disrupt the repairs underway. They are prepped and ready to go, hoping we can upload them tonight or tomorrow morning.
From our friend Jason Gerbes, in Rotorua, New Zealand, a link to the team site for his team, the Marist St Michael Magic – (Rotorua, New Zealand We’ve also added thelink at our “Teams” page as well. Does your team have a site or webpage? If you’re not listed on our Teams page and want to be, click that “contact us” link.
Jason and his dad Jim were in Los Angeles on business recently, and managed to squeeze in a trip to Dodger Stadium, with Maddy and I. Jason had never been to a major league baseball game before, but is a big Dodger fan. As you can see from the photo, the Dodgers sent along a nice welcome. (That’s Jason standing, with the Dodger jersey) Jason, his dad and Maddy also wound up on the Diamondvision scoreboard in left field. No telling why they left me off 😉
