Editor’s note: I was moving some boxes over the weekend and found some with fastpitch memorabilia, including this 1994 ISC World Tournament Championship Guide from 20 years ago. The champions the prior year in 1993? Toronto Gators, with pitcher Darren Zack and catcher Bruce Casselman featured on the cover of the guide. Darren was the Most Valuable Pitcher that year, while teammate Terry Challis was the Most Valuable Player. With Jack Fireman and the Toronto Gators back in action at this year’s tournament, and the pending induction of Terry Challis to the ISC Hall of Fame in 2015, I thought it was a timely look back.
Cap tip, Al Ruegsegger, longtime sponsor of the Culver City Rounders and later the Long Beach Painters (who played in the 1994 ISC World Tournament, finishing 5th). Al salvaged a number of boxes of fastball memorabilia from the collection of Red Meairs, player and manager of the legendary Long Beach Nitehawks, after Red and his beloved wife Connie passed away. We look forward to sharing more from those boxes in the coming months, and hope to see the guides become part of the permanent collection at the official ISC website.
