font-family:Arial'>The 2013 Legends of Fastball Classic will celebrate its 10<sup>th</sup>
anniversary in 2013 and with that it has established itself as one of the premier
major men’s fastball events in <st1:place w:st="on">North America</st1:place>.
While many great tournaments have left the ball yards in recent years memories
of thrilling games, legendary teams and great players linger in the lawn chairs
of both fans and participants who have all made this game special. Legends has
become the benchmark for quality, consistency and competition and with over 50
fastball heroes honoured in the Legends Hall of Fame no tournament event has
given more to the true spirit of fastball. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>The 2013 LEGENDS CLASSIC will be held June 21 – 23 at
PETER HALLMAN BALL YARD, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">KITCHENER</st1:City>,
<st1:State w:st="on">ONTARIO</st1:State></st1:place> and will once again
feature an all-star lineup of teams. This year’s event will once again
feature both a men’s and junior men’s division and we expect the
lineup of teams to rival the best in the game.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Over the past ten years Legends winners have included the
Broken Bow Travelers, Orillia Riversharks, Kitchener Rivershark Twins, New
Zealand Black Sox and Jarvis Travelers, while some of the legendary teams and
players in the game have dusted the base paths or shared the benches on Legends
weekend. The Farm Tavern, Fedlock Falcons, Owen Sound Selects, Heflin Builders
are all gone now but they all made Legends a tournament staple in years gone by.
2013 ISC Hall of Fame inductee Ron “Doc’ Simmons and his Broken Bow
Travelers won the first Legends in Woodstock, Ontario in 1994, it is hoped that
he return 10 years later this time as winner of 3 straight ISC titles as the proud
sponsor of the Jarvis Travelers .<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The Legends Classic has hosted some of the greatest players
of the game as well, some on their way up, some in their prime and some saying
goodbye to a historic career. Brad Underwood, Jody Hennigar, Todd Martin to
name a handful all toed the rubber at Legends in their final season on the
mound; Andrew Kirkpatrick showed the world what a phenom he would be as he pitched
and batted clean up for the Owen Sound Crunch in his break out season in North
America; Ryan Wolfe, Thomas Makea, Patrick Shannon, Jody Eidt, Dean Holien and Darren
Zack all wowed the fans with their skills on the field, in the box or in the
circle. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Two unique features of Legends are the DIAMOND DIRT program,
always superbly tailored by the ubiquitous John Thompson and painstakingly spliced
together by the tournaments long time volunteer Sue Sherry; and the LEGENDS
HALL OF FAME which has established to honour the legends of <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Ontario</st1:place></st1:State> fastball. The Legends ceremony is
always special to the recipients and it gives fans and players alike the chance
to salute the people who have pioneered the history of local fastball. It is
often a very emotional tribute shared by former teammates and family, and it is
always one last chance for the great ones to earn a well deserved applause they
may have missed at the end of their careers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

exceptional volunteers, unbeatable food and refreshments, and most of all the greatest
game in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
