From Al’s Fastball – “Tid Bits” is Back:
Budke rumors abound. Earlier rumors had him going to the So Cal Bombers. The latest has him going to the Kitchener Hallman Twins, the host team for the 2007 ISC World Tournament in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. As one of the games premier hitters for more than a decade, not surprising that everybody and their brother would like to add him to their roster. Judging from recent performances, he appears to be getting better with age, if that is possible. Budke did play with the Twins back in January at the AAU International Tournament, helping them to a Final Four finish.
Budke will be playing for the “South All Stars” at the first California North-South All Star Challenge next weekend, October 14-15, 2006.
