PRESS RELEASE
First – let me take a minute to congratulate Larry Lynch on another fine tournament this past weekend in Kitchener. Larry has once again pulled off a successful event for fans (and players) at his Legends weekend and for all those in attendance including myself, thanks to Larry and crew for another job well done!!
With just a little more than 3 weeks to go to the opening pitch of the World Fastball Invitational, I am very pleased to announce we are putting the finishing touches and logistics together to have Ballpark Radio on site broadcasting nearly ALL games LIVE from Monkton!!!
Our good friend Mr Jim Flanagan www.fastpitchwest.com and his crew will be in attendance to broadcast live around the world all the action from the tournament via www.ballparkradio.com IN ADDITION, I am also excited to announce Maddy Flanagan www.maddysphots.com is also making the trip from California to capture all the action thru her lens for all to enjoy following the tournament.
Having the “best in the business” on hand at our event is just another reason why fans and players around the globe consider Monkton to be finest of it’s kind, and we are extremely grateful to have Jim, Maddy, and crew take part. They both/all bring along years of professionalism and dedication to their craft as you probably know, and we are very happy to have them on board.
Our continued and relentless pursuit of being the best we can possibly be, is the reason we do what we do…and we hope you all enjoy it!
