Another great issue of “This Week in Fastball” from our friend in Ontario Canada, Dennis Dosman. This one might be my favorite issue yet. See especially his discussion of the top teams in the ISC rankings, Jarvis, NY Gremlins and Kitchener. (scroll down, after the jump)
Happy Canada Day to everyone…and “Maz”….Happy Fourth!!!!
The big news is the results of the Legends of Fastball Classic at Peter Hallman this past weekend…..
Great to see good friends back at the Ball Yard watching some great fastball
The later date, the ten team format, the addition of the Junior Future of Fastball Division, all made for a very entertaining weekend…busy but entertaining…and fun….
The ISC rankings may take a bit of a rejigging in the next poll, but the fact remains that a lot of great teams were at Peter Hallman Ball Yard for a classic Legends of Fastball Classic.
Everyone at the park knew that the Kitchener Hallman RiverShark Twins were a great team, two ISC World titles the past two years, an Ontario OASA picked up at Hillside in Waterloo last year, and Canadian title won down the road in St Thomas, a couple of nice additions to the roster over the winter,
Everyone at the park wanted to see just how good this Jarvis team was going to be. A solid club last year, good run at the Canadian Senior Men’s last year in St Thomas and then the partnership announced a few weeks ago with Doc Simmon’s Broken Bow Travelers, Would those spiffy uniforms that Doc’s teams are famous for be filled with mojo or would it be talent but no drive
And everyone at the ball park knew that New York Gremlins looked great, they had a lot of quality, including hard hitting local favorite “Red” Levy, Paul Koert, Bill Hillhouse, Frank DeGroat, Landy Rodriguez….a solid team …
Eveyone at the ball park knew that Midland Explorers were going to be building a good club to challenge for the ISC World Championship being held in their ball park in Michigan with a few top quality signings…including KW favorite Craig Crawford.
And everyone at the ball park was wondering who in the world is the Chicago/NewYork Dominicana? Where did they come from…..lots of big names, but is there “any chemistry” Was the Midland tournament win a couple of weeks ago real?
