(Russ Snow, coach of Great Britain’s ISF squad)
Click here to listen to a brief (podcast) interview with Great Britain coach Russ Snow, on Ballparkradio.com.
Jim Flanagan of Ballparkradio caught up with Russ Snow, while he and fellow coach Dave Chavez were driving over to the ballpark for their big game tonight against the USA. Russ and Jim were teammates on the Vista Bombers from 1990-1993. Russ went on thereafter to pitch for the Long Beach Painters and Larry Miller Toyota in additional ISC World Tournaments, and then won several national ASA Masters titles in the Masters division.
Russ’s wife lived and had a business in England, so Russ found himself splitting time between the USA and Great Britain. He discovered the European leagues, or perhaps it discovered him. The end result was Russ pitching, and later coaching there, for club teams, and eventually, the National team. His squad took third in the European championships last summer, behind Denmark and the Czech Republic, but has them positioned to be the only European team to make the playoffs in the XII ISF World Championships.
The interview is relatively short, but we hope you enjoy it.

Editor’s note: Someone asked me if Ballparkradio was in Saskatoon. The answer is no, we did the interview by phone.
