Note from Al Doran of Al’s Fastball re: Streaming Video of ISF Worlds at Saskatoon:

We have received numerous notes of inquiry since then from fans from all over the world asking for more details. I am sorry but I am as much in the dark here as everyone else. The host site still has no information on its subject link:

http://www.2009worldsmensfastpitch.com/Webcam.phpg

So all I can recommend is you keep watching that site and/or contact the host committee.

Excellent questions posed to us include:

– who are the announcers, play by play and colour commentators – do they know senior men’s ball?
– What video and audio quality will we have?
– What is the schedule for the games to be covered?
– will other games have at least a video image?

Hopefully we will have more information very soon as the countdown is on, we play ball in 3 more days!

The official site is:

I am counting on the host committee to provide me with our standard Game Summary Sheets right after every game so that we can keep the information flowing on all the action. I have been assured a reserved spot in the press box and a wireless connection so we should be good to go on Friday morning.

Safe travels to all the fans, players, umpires, and officials headed to Saskatoon, see you in the park on Friday morning.

Editor’s note: We have also received a number of emails from fastpitch fans around the world asking for more information on the streaming video broadcasts of the ISF Worlds in Saskatoon. Some had heard that Ballparkradio might be handling the broadcasts. We are not. (As mentioned in prior post, we did submit a proposal, but we were not selected). If we hear anything further, we’ll post in all the usual places, including here at the Morning Brief.
